Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to be running in a half marathon to raise funds for Sew Positive. Running this race is not just about crossing the finish line for me; it’s about supporting a cause that I care deeply about and bringing people together for something positive.

As someone who has experienced firsthand how meaningful activities like sewing can fight loneliness, I know the power of community and support. In my role as a sewing lecturer in a local college, I’ve seen how small actions can help people connect and find joy- and that’s why I’m taking on this challenge!

This is my first half marathon, and I’m fully committed to raising as much as possible for Sew Positive. With your help, I know I can make a big difference. Every donation, big or small, brings me closer to reaching my fundraising goal and supporting an amazing cause.

Thanks for your support, encouragement, and generosity!
