Power2Inspire's vision is of a world where "no one is left on the bench." Inclusivity is the name of the game.

I know its founder John Willis very well and am honoured to be able to run and raise money for Power2Inspire in the 2021 Cambridge Half Marathon.

My running "career" started whilst a teenager as a way to avoid getting squashed at the bottom of a scrum, or flattened by a central defender on the football pitch! Running gave me a sense of freedom and opportunities to clear my mind. It also gave me a self-confidence and a realisation that great feats are possible if you just put your mind to it.

After a very long break from running, friends from South Africa visited a few years ago and persuaded me to run my first 5km parkrun. I regained my love of running and quickly progressed to 10kms, Half, Full and Ultra marathons (proving that craziness knows no bounds)! 

Enough about me - by donating to this cause you will be helping Power2Inspire to fulfil their mission which is  to embed inclusive sport within the sport, education and the community.

A few words from JustGiving for your peace of mind: "Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and, if you choose, to donate.
