Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be running my first marathon on Sunday 10th October in Manchester. I hope I've done enough training to get through. I've enjoyed every minute running with family and friends this year having run around 400miles / 650km in total this year. It's helped through some tough lockdown moments and I didn't think I'd be able to get so many miles in. Training with friends really has made it easier. I'm not aiming for any completion time as I haven't quite been able to commit to a proper training plan, however I really hope I can compete it and still be standing after!

Any donations for Gumboots would be greatly welcomed. They are doing some brilliant things educating children and tackling poverty in South African townships. Please visit their website for more info www.gumboots.org.za
