For those of you that know me know I only took up running a year ago as something to focus on during lockdown and dealing with my Dad’s diagnosis of cancer. My dad passed away in April 2021 and with it coming up to the anniversary since his death, I wanted to mark this by raising money for Treetops who were a god send to me and my family in my dads final days and have continued to support me this year.  

I am running the Derby 10K for the second time with the aim to complete it in under an hour which is 5 minutes faster than I ran it in October 2021. This may sound easy but running took a back foot during the winter with the dark nights and not being able to fit runs in around work shifts. So training has well and truly begun. Any of you who knew my Dad knew he was big into his sports and therefore was VERY competitive and also accident prone… I’m hoping to use his competitive nature and determination to achieve my goal. Any donations would be HUGELY appreciated and means a lot to me. ❤️

I'm running the Derby 10k for Treetops Hospice to help them care for people in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. That's why I am hoping to raise at least £108. This could help a local person receive a night of hospice at home care. Every mile I run will help them to die in the comfort of their home with their family around them. Please sponsor me as your donation can help me do this. With gift aid, every £5 will help to fund half an hour of care; or every £10 will help to fund one hour of care. Let's do something amazing and together help a local family have support and care when they need it most. Thank you!
