Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In February I turn 21 (ahem plus 19) and years ago I promised myself I would run a marathon before that milestone. Im not sure I actually thought I could and would achieve that at the time but here I am 4 half marathons down and some way into a plan to make it reality (arggghhhhh!). I held off posting this as I have had a minor injury in my left ankle but an MRI confirmed I'm good to go (mixed feelings about this and the doctor who gave me this news lols). Im a little late in my training plan but decided if I run half and walk the rest then so be it! 

I have decided to run it for the WWF given how important getting out in nature has been for many of us and our mental health through the last two years. Every time I turn on the TV there's a new wildfire or freak weather incident where animals and people are driven from their homes in despair. The WWF do lots of amazing work to protect the environment and the animals that make this world such a beautiful place to inhabit so I wanted to send some support their way. 

If you can spare a couple of pounds to help me support the charity and give me an incentive to get through the distance I would be hugely grateful. Along with your donation please feel free to recommend a song that I can add to my playlist and remind me of all the people supporting me on the day for that little bit of extra motivation :) 

Thank you! xxx
