I'm running the 2019 Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 6th October. This is my first ever half marathon. 

For those that have known me a while you will know I have never been a fan of running. After supporting my nephews and niece complete the junior park run I caught the park run bug. I now use running as a form of mindfulness, as well as exercise, which I promote to the students I teach. 

After completing over 7 years teaching, I have seen my fare share of safeguarding. All children deserve to be children, to feel supported and loved. I have been made aware of the amazing work NSPCC do for so many children I have taught. Children who have been left feeling unloved and worthless. I wish to raise money for NSPCC to aid them in being able to continue their support with children and families. I wish for NSPCC to be able to broaden their work to reach every child in need.

Knowing I will be running the biggest run of my life for such a good cause will see me over the line! So please donate what you can to help and provide me with more motivation to finish with a smile. 

Thank you for your support.
