The Durrell Challenge is a 13K race in the UK to raise much needed funds for Durrells vital work saving some of the worlds most threatened wildlife. All the money I raise goes directly to them!

As many of you know, I started my weight loss journey after life threw many unexpected and painful curve balls my way, starting with the passing of my mom. I decided to focus on making the best of a truly unfortunate situation living each day like my mom would have wanted. The phrase "Each day is a new adventure" is one she often put in some variation in the cards she wrote and they are the words that keep pushing me to live the best life I can. There have been quite a few up and downs along the way but I am thrilled to say I have found my fitness groove. Never in my life did I think that I would be fit enough to even contemplate running a 13K but here we are! Wild times(pun intended)!! Combining this with conservation is an absolute dream. It's the ultimate two-for, pushing my health and wellness while raising money to aid in restoring health to the wild. Thank you for reading and I appreciate any help you may be able to give to my conservation goal. 

I surely won't be the fastest one out there but I promise you I will give it my very best!
