Story

Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my justgiving page.

Im currently on a run streak to reach 1000 consecutive half marathons raising money for various charities along the way.

I’ve so far raised over £5000 for Mind running 1-670

I’ll be running 671 - 1000 for Cancer Research UK with a separate fundraiser on the side for Nightingale House Hospice too.

I am raising money for these chosen charities following the death of loved ones, to include my ex husband, my father, and friends.

I am a single Mum bringing up 3 teenage kids and working full time as a cleaner as well as running this half marathon run streak.

I have documented my story on Facebook, Instagram and Strava from Day 1 if you’d like to follow me please do!

My streak has taken me all over the world, to run in Miami, Italy (Rome and Lake Garda) up to the volcano craters in Fuerteventura and to the deserts of Petra, Jordan to name a few places.

As part of this new fundraising streak I hope to inject some new adventure into my runs too, kick starting with the 50 mile Chester Ultra as part of this streak! And I’ll be running the Corsa Malta Marathon and the Brighton Marathons this year too.

AJ Bell have kindly gifted me a place on all their runs, so I’ll also be running the AJ Bell Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Great North Run (Newcastle) and Glasgow half marathons as part of this streak.

Whilst I’ve been given some sponsorship most of this venture is self funded.

I’d love to raise a minimum of £3300 for Cancer Research UK to secure my dream and run the London Marathon for them in 2025.

My streak will continue throughout 2024 and end on the 24th January 2025!

I also hope to gain a new Guinness World Record for my efforts!

Thank you so much for all your support ❤️
