Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running and I have a complicated relationship… after spending my entire childhood doing everything I could to avoid it, I was convinced to try it as a way to get fit about ten years ago, and now it’s difficult to get me to stop. Ever since I took it up, the Royal Parks Half has been on my bucket list, and it’s taken me this long to get my act together and enter, and even longer to pull myself together and do something meaningful with it. It’s less than 2 weeks to race day, but I guess last minute fundraising is better than none at all…

I’d like to use this opportunity to raise money for Mind, Brecon and District - Mind are an absolutely invaluable organisation for so many reasons, and especially need support in communities outside of the big cities. Ironically, the thought of a fundraising target stresses me out, which is why I’m doing this independently instead of through ‘Team Mind’, but if you’d like to donate, it would really make my day.
