Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running my second marathon this Autumn - after feeling very unwell for several months in 2020 I re-started my training and set a goal to improve my overall health and running time - I have a very ambitious goal of knocking half an hour off my Rome 2018 time to run a sub-5hr marathon.

Being ill and unable to exercise last year, as well as seeing the impact of the pandemic devastating the lives of those more vulnerable, without health infrastructure, I want to fund raise for Medecins sans Frontieres UK, both to support their worldwide COVID response and to back support for health programmes whereever people need them.  

I'm thankful for my health and the freedoms - time, safe national parks, supportive running community - that I have.  I'll be running the race anyway and paid for my own entry, so this fund raising is an optional extra - there's no obligation to donate but if you'd like to support the cause as well as me, I'll be very grateful!
