Between the 11th February and the  24th February  I'm taking part in Step Up for Girls to support Plan International UK and their work to empower girls worldwide. I will be running (sometimes walking) 140km in 14 days to help tackle gender inequality and show solidarity with girls everywhere.

I will top this off with a campus walk with my University of Surrey Health Sciences colleagues on International Women’s Day (8th March). 

Plan International UK are a global charity working with girls and boys in some of the world’s poorest communities, making sure  they have access to education, healthcare and the opportunities to thrive. They also work to address inequalities girls face such as period poverty, child marriage, harassment and sexual exploitation.

Please support this fantastic work if you can!
