Story

Support my first-ever half marathon to raise money for the Garwood Foundation! 🤍💚

Anyone who knows me will know that describing me as “a runner” would be a bit of a stretch. In fact, running 21kms (13.1 m) sounds suspiciously like something I’d normally avoid at all costs.

I’ll be swapping excuses for training runs, convincing myself that I actually enjoy hill sessions, and become apart of the 1% of the global population to complete a half marathon.

I’m taking on this challenge to support the Garwood Foundation and the incredible work they do to help individuals with disabilities access opportunities, programmes, activities and support that make a real difference to their lives.

Every donation will help support their fantastic work and will also give me extra motivation when my legs are questioning my life choices somewhere around the 15km mark.

Thankyou for helping me tackle this huge personal challenge and hopefully make it to the finish line in one piece.

Wish me luck – I have a feeling I’m going to need it ✨✨✨
