Hey!

I started running back in 2014 and a dream of mine was always to run a half marathon (and potentially a marathon, but one step at a time!). After deconstructing and reconstructing my relationship with running I have made the decision to finally make that dream come true, and am running the Poseidon Half Marathon in Athens on April 27th!

I have been working with Cambridge Rape Crisis Center since 2022 and have been volunteering with them since 2023. The work the women do at the center is incredible. It is such an honour to be running for and representing CRCC and raise money for them to continue their amazing work.

This is a cause that is so close to my heart. There are so many misconceptions around rape, sexual assault and what position the survivors are in. The stigma surrounding rape and sexual assault is to the detriment of the survivor. There is always a blame around them and unfortunately patriarchal, sexist standards are the reason why. These standards protect the men that commit these atrocities, and silence the women who have had to endure them. By raising money for CRCC the charity is able to keep listening, believing, and supporting women and girls who have had to survive such experiences.

Thanks for listening :)
