Story

In 2022 I completed my first full Marathon after setting myself a challenge to run a Marathon for my 40th birthday following completing couch to 5K from never running before. I have now totally got the bug and want to do more!!! After qualifying for good for age I started looking at the 6 world majors to see which I could do and found this amazing Charity were supporting the Berlin Marathon! I have always worked with children and supported children’s charities and knew straight away this was the charity I wanted to support this year! The thought that these children won’t make adulthood just broke my heart and I can’t imagine what their families are going through! So if I can just help make a slight difference to their lives I would love to! 

In 2023 I completed the Berlin Marathon raising over £3,000 for Zoe’s Place but I wanted to give more so I have thrown myself back into full training mode ready for the Barcelona Marathon in March and the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April! I am honoured to be running both of these for Zoe’s Place. 

Over the year I will be running other races, half marathons, 10k’s and 5k’s all whilst wearing my Zoe’s Place top with pride to help promote the amazing work they do for so many families. I will also be holding several events to raise the funds for them so please keep an eye out for my next event and come along to support us. Xxx
