I've climbed Mount Toubkal, trekked to the Lost City in Columbia so what's next? I am always up for a new challenge but this one is really testing me!!

I had always said I'd love to run a marathon but given injuries common sense has always prevailed; until now.

Last year my incredible niece ran the London Marathon and inspired me to enter the ballot. No one comes out of the ballot right? Over 840,000 applied. So imagine the feeling when you DO come out of the ballot.........

So what's pushing me to do it? Knowing that I can be making a difference to the lives of people in our travel industry, those that have nowhere else to turn.

LifeLine recently supported an individual after receiving the devastating news that her three year old daughter had cancer.

“My daughter was undergoing chemotherapy treatment and having major surgery. I was out on sick leave from work, and we were beginning to struggle with everyday finances. Things were extremely stressful and difficult.

After contacting Lifeline I quickly realised they are invaluable. The charity provided food vouchers to help with food and essentials and also supported with the purchase of a new bed and warm bedding for my daughter’s bedroom. This made a huge difference and made her so much more comfortable during treatment. I can’t thank LifeLine enough.”

Please donate what you can to support others in our industry that might be struggling right now. It will inspire me to get through the training, make the start and hopefully cross that finishing line.

Thank you!
