Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! :-D

What started out as a couch to 5k has turned into something a little more....

So please, follow along my crazy journey, I've run my first 5k, my first 10k, Marathon and now on the road to breaking a 100k Ultra Marathon.... If you don't see me out and about running (it's clearly because I'm so darned fast) that's fine! But you can join in too! with a donation to help spur me on and support myself and the rest of the AMAZING #TEAMARUK, and Alzheimer's Research UK

Right now, I'm probably sleeping, eating or excitedly (nervously, worriedly) prepping for my next race my feet are sore and the blisters are REAL! But there's a special motivation pushing me forward: running in memory of my grandparents, Mary and Reg, who both suffered awfully with dementia.

The most fun part of this, that I am taking my utterly incredible loyal (and irritatingly fit and fast) doggo Roadie along with me for a lot of the ride. So a big cheer (and maybe an extra pound or two??! ) for him too!

To give you some more background to the Charity, Alzheimer's Research UK. This charity isn't just any organization; they're champions in understanding and fighting Alzheimer's. From funding world-class research to raising vital awareness, they're all about breakthroughs and solutions. 

Every step I take, every cheer from the crowd, propels me to make a difference and bring us closer to a world where Alzheimer's is a thing of the past. Let's make it a run to remember!

In Loving Memory of Mary Hull and Reg Hayes
