I will be running a half marathon in support of Minga Peru, a charity that I am lucky to know very well. In the past two years, the Amazon has experienced record breaking droughts and the rivers have been at all-time lows.

The knock-on effects on health, education and gender equality are detrimental to communities. Minga’s response plan will bring relief and build long term resilience.

Last time I tried this, I fractured my ankle and pulled out 5 days before the race. I am so excited to be running it again after 7 years of physio and training.

Most of all, i am proud to be supporting Minga.
