I am not a runner! Over lockdowns in 2020/2021, I managed to complete the couch to 5K challenge. I never thought I could ever do this and I was really chuffed with my progress. However, I have let this slip over the winter. Having spoken with virtual youth workers from Eikon, I was really impressed with their work. So, I have rediscovered my trainers and attempted to re-start. Its been hard and I will try to jog as much of it as I can. (but may have to walk, every so often) Completing the marathon distance, will be a personal achievement and will help this charity with their great work.

A bit about charity - The Eikon Charity.

We provide:- Youth Workers in the community and safe places where children can feel secure, build friendships and learn to thrive.- Youth Specialists in schools for children and young people to reach out to, or be referred to when they are struggling.- Resources for teachers and other professionals to help children learn to cope and thrive, no matter what life throws at them.
