In November 2020 I had Covid. I had already signed up to take part in the Oxford Half Marathon. A month after having Covid I was still only able to walk short distances before feeling too breathless to continue. By March/April time I was finally able to run a mile.

I have slowly been building up my running and although I am not up to running 13 miles just yet, I am determined to give it a go. It will certainly be a challenge as I know that my breathing is still not back to how it was pre-Covid. In the past I have been aiming for specific timings. However, this time my aim is simply to get round! It would be amazing to raise loads of money so anything you can donate, however small, would be amazing!

I am running for Hagar International (UK) who are an international organisation dedicated to the recovery of women and children who have endured extreme abuses.
