Running isn't my thing, but I'm giving it a go ....again

Fundraising for the Welsh Sail Training Charity which I co-founded means supporting young people to have a fun, outdoor learning experience at sea.  We do this on one of our sailing vessels. 

Over the years we have seen how young people have improved mental health, improved teamwork and communication skills, improved self-confidence and resilience by taking part in our innovative outdoor educational opportunities. Challenge Wales broadens young people's minds, gives them a safe, positive space to be in, teaches them essential life skills, respect and responsibility, brings science to life and introduces young people to ocean literacy and sustainability, all while having bundles of fun. 

With the cost of living crisis increasing Challenge Wales' operating costs and grant funding being reduced, it means fundraising like this is essential to enable us to continue to deliver our services to those that need it.

Having run my first half marathon in March 2022, and having said to myself I would never do it again I ran my second half marathon in October 2022. After that I said I would never run again, then I thought I'd sign up to the Cardiff 10K in March 2023 and the Barry 10k in August 2023 to keep raising much-needed funds for Challenge Wales.
