It all started with a New Year's Resolution.... In early 2019, I signed up for the Great Scottish Run's Half Marathon event (which is being held in Glasgow on Sunday 29th September) as a personal goal and I've decided to raise money for Bipolar Scotland.

This lesser-known charity is a support system to many affected by bipolar and as a family member has this condition, it is extra special. 

P.s. I've never ran 13.1 miles before, saving that for race day (it's actually quite far 😅) - wish me luck!
