Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
On 27th April 2025, I'll be running the London Marathon for Redwings Horse Sanctuary.
I worked within the Communications team at the charity for nine years and have seen first hand the incredible work that takes place there to care for neglected, abused and abandoned horses and donkeys whose lives would have otherwise looked bleak.
Redwings is currently responsible for more than 2,000 rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules across the UK (many of whom I have had the pleasure to enjoy plenty of cuddles with over the years) and it is without hesitation that I have chosen to support them.
Those of you who know me will know I was once a keen runner. But in 2020, for personal reasons, I was told it would be best if I stopped. So I did, overnight, which felt like quite the loss at the time.
Fast forward to last year, and having welcomed my daughter in 2022, I finally felt ready to give running another go. I put my name in the London Marathon ballot (not thinking much of it - as we all do!) and I got picked out!
Marathon training has been quite the baptism back to running, but I'm loving it so far and I hope I can put this newfound enthusiasm to good use by raising funds for a charity close to my heart.
Thank you so much!
