We Raise funds for skin disease research to help millions of sufferers in the UK

Story

Myself and some colleagues in the Outer Dowsing Team have signed up to run a fair few km's in aid of a variety of charities.

As anyone who knows me, I am not a natural runner and definitely not built for it. I completed the couch to 5k in the summer and on April 13, 2025, I'll be trying to run the Boston* 10k which is a big step up for me!

I'm running in support of The British Skin Foundation, a cause that is close to my heart and has affected a number of close family members. My goal is to raise £250 for this important cause, and every contribution makes a real difference.

The Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind team are working to build a 1.5 GW wind farm, 33 miles off the coast of Lincolnshire. We are currently in development phase, and it is hoped that building will begin in 2027 and complete in 2030 bringing clean, renewable power to 1.6 million households.

Since the project launched in 2021 the team have got to know South and East Lincolnshire well, surveying the land and meeting with local communities.

*Yes, the original Boston, in Lincolnshire, UK!
