What’s that saying.... “do something every day that scares you”...... well this year I am doing something so huge it’s scaring me enough for every day of the year! I started running 2 years ago, thanks to the couch to 5k programme, and I always said that I would never run further than 10k. Then I joined a team of people who taught me to believe in myself, and to aim high - and here I am, about to run 26.2 miles! The thought of it excites me and scares me in equal measure, but I will give it everything I’ve got to finish!

I am honoured to have been offered a place to run for Action on Pre-eclampsia, something my mum suffered terribly with with when she was pregnant with me. This condition sadly sees a woman die every 6 minutes worldwide - something that APEC is working hard to change. The work they do to undergo research, train midwives, help families through their helpline and increase the public’s knowledge of this condition is all done by a tiny team of part time staff, a handful of volunteers and a really first class bunch of trustees. Every single penny of your money means so much to them, and I am privileged to be able to use my experience to help them.
