Running the Marathon has been on my Bucket List for years, even though I’ve never run more than 10k! As I start a new chapter of my life, I’m making some long held dreams happen!

This year, in my 40th year, I’ve been lucky enough to get a space running the London Marathon and have chosen to raise money for mental health charity MIND, which does some truly incredible and invaluable work.

This is going to be a huge challenge for me but I’m so grateful to finally be able to give it a go. I’m really going to be pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, I’m terrified but determined - even if I have to crawl down the Mall, I will cross that finish line! I want to make my girls proud.

So if you have some spare cash to encourage me to get running (which goes to such a wonderful cause), please donate below!
