Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running back in the 2020 lockdown using the couch to 5k app. My neighbour and I did this together, it was a great time to have a natter and get some fresh air. Since then I have continued with my running as I surprised myself as to how much I enjoyed it! I feel I have not had a personal challenge in a long time so I look forward to having the focus of the London Marathon to push me further.

I am raising money for Diabetes UK as in June 2022, my husband became very ill and ended up in A&E and was soon diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 32. Type 1 diabetes is more commonly diagnosed in children so it came as quite a shock to us as a family. We have been adjusting to things since his diagnosis but still have a lot to learn. The amazing work and support Diabetes UK offers is incredible and can help so many people who have this life changing condition. By running the marathon I hope to raise my target amount of £2500 to help this wonderful charity.

Alongside being a farmer's wife and Mum to two children I also run a dance school in Kingsbridge, South Devon. This year is our 10th anniversary year with lots of celebrations planned for the year ahead. These celebrations will also include lots of fundraising opportunities and I am very proud of the support the dance school has given me so far. In June 2022 we raised over £1000 for Diabetes UK and I am sure they will help me smash my new target!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I really appreciate any donation you can make.
