I'm known by friends, family and neighbours as 'THE GAL WHO HATES RUNNING, BUT RUNS ANYWAY'.

I started running regularly in May 2020, as a way to keep myself active
and sane during the chaos of a global pandemic...

I live in hope that one day, I will learn to love running, but that day is yet to arrive! Although my body is not particularly enjoying the running, I adore moving and being outdoors; my mind is eternally grateful for the peace and quiet while I explore the local hills.

There are so many uncertainties in this mad world, but everyday I’m reminded of how grateful and thankful I am that I have a healthy body and I have the incredible gift of mobility.

So to celebrate I'm doing something utterly inconceivable - I'm running
a marathon in May!

Nine months ago, running even 5K would have seemed unimaginable (I'm a swimmer not a runner!) so this is a truly huge challenge and so I would love to raise some money for a worthy cause in the process if I can.

If you have any spare pennies, please do consider donating, it would
mean the world!
