This time last year I never would have considered running more than 10km, but the pandemic hit and so I thought what better way to explore New York than on foot! Fast forward a year, and one day a group of friends (hanging out at Blue Stone Lane coffee post morning run) came up with an idea to run a 50km Ultra marathon around Manhattan island whilst raising money for some amazing causes. 

Through my page you'll be showing your support with a contribution to my charity of choice, Go Girls Foundation, who assist women at-risk to become work ready, find employment and be financially independent - this is a mission that aligns with my professional life and day to day work of getting more people into rewarding jobs through equitable education and training.

Thank you!!

Team Summary: Brought together by our Manhattan running club in the West Village, we have decided to raise money for a number of fantastic causes by running a 32 mile ultra marathon around Manhattan. 

An ultra marathon is defined as "any footrace longer than the traditional marathon length of 42.195 kilometers (26 mi 385 yd)". While we are all keen runners, none of us have achieved ultra marathon status so this will be a huge challenge and one we hope you will agree is worthy of your donation and support. You can see the charities we are running for on each of our individual pages; with each one holding a special place in our hearts.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
