Anyone who knows me, knows I don’t run!

(The last time was a 5k over 11 years ago 👀)

So this is a big deal for me 😵‍💫

At the end of this year I turn 40 and I wanted to do something with some purpose whilst putting myself out of my comfort zone and working on determination, commitment and seeing in the 4.0 a little fitter!

I’ve been volunteering a small amount of time to this charity recently and really wanted to show my appreciation for the incredible and crucial work they do… so here I am, looking to fundraise for NACOA, starting with a 5km in august (18th) , developing onto a 10k in October and I have my eye on the Bath Half Marathon next March ( we will see).

So I am hoping you take a moment to read a bit below about this charity and sponsor me in this journey I have started. Any sponsors cover both the 5km and 10km I have booked.

Wish me luck and more importantly send me self belief vibes… I got this!

Thanks in advance and so much thanks to NACOA for everything they do which will be making such a huge difference to children’s lives and their futures 🥰

Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parent’s drinking.

We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.

1 in 5 children in the UK are affected by their parents' alcohol problems. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. Nacoa responds by providing a free, confidential telephone, 1-2-1 chat and email helpline.
