I'm supporting Making Strides 2025

As an alumni and current staff member at Swansea university, it means so much to me to have an opportunity to run and fundraise for such a fantastic charity. This is my first time doing something like this, and I’m definitely stepping out of my comfort zone, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.

Six years ago, I personally struggled with depression and anxiety after loosing a friend and the support I received from Swansea University was invaluable. Within days, I had my first counselling session and ongoing support from my colleagues. When you join Swansea University, you really become a part of a close-knit family, and this is my way of showing thanks for the support I received and to be able to help others.

I’m running to honour the memory of my friend, Delme Jones.
