I am raising money for Croydon Health Charity and in running the half marathon on the 6th of April. This is my first half marathon. My health journey all started with a couch to 5K NHS app in Feb '24. I since have been running three times a week and from my first fundraising run i completed in August 2024 raising £500 for a local Croydon Learning disability charity... I regularly run and go to the Gym. As a NHS worker and a neurodivergent member of the NHS workforce running and exercise gives me energy and keeps me fit in demanding NHS role. Exercise is so good for well-being and and energy i need for my family and young children as i approach 50. During these cold, dark winter months running and keeping fit improves mood, gives more energy and keeps body flexible and maintain core strength. Running is space for ear pods in, listening to music and positive mental well-being for demanding NHS job.
To raise funds for £100 target i will having bake sales at the Croydon University Hospital foyer in February and at Council Office (BWH) in March 2025. I will also run 13.1 miles or 21.1km (That's a long way) on the 6th April. I will be running with my sister through central London and hope to see you there if you want to come and line the route. Great atmosphere and day out. https://llhm.co.uk/about-llhm
