The equivalent of 4 marathons in 4 weeks! Let me tell you more.

As a teacher and parent and human ‘bean’ I have struggled as much as anyone through this pandemic - but one thing I’ve tried to do is find some time in my week to go running and have some me time. This has not been an easy task but I know that it is so important to try and think about our mental and physical health.

I work at my local primary school and teaching has kept me motivated and busy, so now I feel its time to give something back.

Pensford Primary School is a small village school with a wide-reaching demographic of children. With less than 100 children on roll (and therefore an even smaller number of families) fundraising can be tricky business at the best of times.

The PTA do a wonderful job at raising funds for the school but there’s no doubt that this has been a difficult year in which to do so.

Therefore I plan to run the equivalent of a marathon a week for each week in February - that‘s the same as 42.2 kilometers a week; or 168.8 kilometers in 28 days. Im still fairly new to running but I figure with a good pair of trainers, the wind behind me, and a lot of luck and motivation - I can do this.

Please help me support this school - we really do need the funds this year and every child will benefit from the money I raise. Thank you.
