Story

In 2021 I finally completed the Marathon Des Sables - a race that I had dreamt about for many years before and the experience fully exceeded my expectations. Not only was I able to survive the 50+ degree heat and dodge the sickness bug which sadly wiped out 48% of the competitors, but I also proudly finished 1st British female which I never imagined was even possible.

As I continue to explore my perceived limitations, I'm heading into 2023 with a raised bar. My current race line up;

November '22 - Endurance Life Dorset marathon 

Dorset 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Ultra – Endurancelife

January - Arc of Attrition 100 miles

April - Highland Ultra 125km 3 stage race

May - Ultra Trail Snowdonia 50km

November - The Desert Ultra 250km, Namibia

Since completing the MDS I have gone onto join their Board of Trustees and also the Coaching Team for future Marathon Des Sables participants. I am fully invested in the work this incredible charity do and will continue to support them for as long as these little legs of mine will carry me.

Please help me to help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about Hope for Children, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
