This March and April, I will be taking part in two running events. I will be running the iconic Paris Marathon on Sunday, the 12th of April, and the Reading Half Marathon on Sunday, the 22nd of March.

I am running both to raise money for JAC in Wokingham.

For the Reading Half Marathon, I will be running as part of a human caterpillar team!

With Gina, Katie, Shira and Lucy, we will be taking on the Reading Half Marathon in unforgettable style — as the legendary “Coasterpiller”! 🐛✨

We will be joined together as one glorious Finch Coaster Caterpillar, weaving our way through 13.1 miles of Reading in a spectacle of teamwork, determination, and slightly questionable aerodynamics.

As we race (or wriggle!) our way to the finish line, we’ll also be raising money for Wokingham-based charity Just Around the Corner, the Finch Coasters Charity of the Year 2026.

Founded in 1998, JAC is a unique centre providing personal learning and development therapies for children and young people.
