Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This October I will take on the amazing challenge of running the Loch Ness marathon, this has been a goal of mine since I started consistent running just over two years ago, when after a very difficult period in my life I felt so alone that I planned to take own life. Running, the support of a few very special people and a little bit of self belief allowed me not only to survive this hard time but actually use it realise my dream of having my own business, as a mental health and Exercise coach. I am delighted to be running on behalf of Befrienders Highland who  provide friendships to those feeling isolated in the Highland community and use a REFOCUS method which helps support their Friends to build confidence and to take greater control of their lives by meeting life goals they have set themselves. Any money donated has the possibility of saving someone's live as running did for me, any amount of donation would mean the world to me. 🙏💛💛
