Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2017 I ran my last half marathon.  I wasn't fast but I could do it with practice.  Since November 2019 and hitting the menopause, I've run a total of 3km, spend a lot of the time feeling tired, having brain fog and my diet has become much less healthy.  

I need to turn that round so I'm going to run 28 km between 1st and 28th February, not necessarily 1 km every day, but just in total, and cut out chocolate and cakes at the same time (and maybe even cheese).  This is in addition to meditation and yoga which I have managed to keep going.

Hopefully this will increase my energy and get some better habits instilled.

90% of women get menopausal symptoms

10% of women leave their jobs due to the menopause

We need more awareness, evidence-based information, advice and understanding.

"Women over the age of 50 are the fastest growing group in the UK workforce. As the average age of the menopause is 51, this means that symptoms often occur at the peak of your career."
