Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! 

On April 16, I'm going to be running my debut marathon in Rotterdam (I hear it's very flat, so I chose wisely...) For those who know me, you'll know that this is a huge personal goal, and a challenge I have been building up to for the last year. 

To make this run even more purposeful, I've decided to raise some money for a charity I adore - The Theatrical Guild. Dedicated to supporting backstage and front of house staff, this charity helps people across the UK recover from ill health or injury, overcome sudden set-backs, access career training or provide support with their mental health. 

As an industry severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the work to re-open theatres, get audiences back into seats, and reinvigorate an industry of technical theatre workers (many of whom had been forced to take alternative jobs or leave the sector) has been more vital than ever in getting performing arts back under the spotlight. 

Behind the scenes staff are the unsung heart of the industry - highly skilled and with years of specialised training. Please help me in supporting this charity in ensuring these talented individuals are provided with the resources and help necessary to keep up their trade and fulfil their passions. 

If you're on Strava, please also give me a follow - I could use the 'Kudos'!
