On 8th October I will be taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Age UK. It is a great charity which works to improve the quality of life of older people in the UK through initiatives such as combatting loneliness and enabling independence.

While I may have described myself as sporty at school, this is certainly no longer the case. Before beginning my training, I played netball once a week and ran for the occasional tube, so it has been pretty tough getting into the swing of going on regular runs!

Any donations would be much appreciated, it makes the runs that little bit easier knowing that I am raising money for such a worthy cause!
