Story


I'm so pleased to be fundraising for CALM, as REaD Group's charity of the year, and a cause really close to my heart.  I'm trying to really push myself out of my comfort zone, so while the big events this year for me are the Asics 10k in July, the York 10k in August and the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October,  here's what I'll be up to in the meantime...

- Good Friday 10k (DONE)

- 27th May Vitality 10k (DONE)

- 9th June Paris 10k (DONE)

- 21st July Asics 10k (DONE)

My lovely fiance Edd will be joining me and the company I work for on this one, as it's a cause that's important to both of us, and I'm hugely excited to watch him run very quickly away from me, and have a drink waiting for me in the pub after...

- 4th August York 10k (DONE: PB 🙌🏻🏅)

- 24th August Greenwich 10k (HALF DONE - technically only did the 5k because it was STUPIDLY HOT.)

- 7th September Thames Bridge Walk (25k) (DONE - possibly the hardest physical thing I've ever done, but we got there!)

- 22nd September Stafford 10k (DONE - new PB!)

- 13th October Royal Parks Half Marathon
