Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

It all started with a stressful job, work-home routine that had a negative impact on me emotionally and psychologically. I started to become depressed and did not enjoy life anymore. 

I researched through forums and discovered that the stress and negative thoughts can be eliminated with yoga, meditation and breathing techniques which helped alot. 

I later discovered the ultrarunning and ultra challenges that push you beyond your limits and help you understand who you are and what you are truly capable of. The human mind is something really powerful and controls our bodies and sets safety limits to protect us from being injured. But we are capable of so much more and we can achieve amazing results from pushing ourselves beyond the pain and boundaries set by our own mind. 

I never liked running and never tried running because it always made me feel tired and overwhelmed after only 10 minutes. I had no stamina at all. The most I ran in my entire life was 8 straight minutes following an NHS couch to 5K recommended by a friend. 

When I decided to take on full 60 miles challenge, everyone around me thought I was crazy. I know its a big challenge to go from running 4 miles to 60 miles but my goal is to discover myself and to understand how our mind works when our body is pushed way beyond the normal day to day limits. 

I also want to help my chosen Charity, Earl Mountbatten Hospice, because they do an amazing job helping people at the end of their beautiful life journey.  They are truly inspirational and offer the best support for people in need and their families. 

I fully understand what is waiting there for me on the 4th and 5th of May 2019 after the race starts: pain, fatigue, thoughts of quitting,  but thinking of all the people that Mountbatten Hospice helps, it will give me strength to move forward. Everyone deserves the best care possible when the time to leave the Earth arrives. Being surrounded by caring and loving people who do their best to provide exceptional care, it makes the transition to the afterlife easier. No one wants to die and your last moments can have a big impact after you begin the new journey!
