In summer 2020, as the UK was coming out of lockdown, I joined
local running group Rimrose Runners. At my first session I couldn’t make it
once around the track, and now, just over a year later I am running my first
ever marathon! (Yes, I am struggling to comprehend this too!).

Now, you can only ever run your first marathon once. So I thought
it a great opportunity to raise money for Claire House, an amazing local
charity who support seriously ill children and their families through creating
wonderful experiences, providing specialist care and emotional support.

I’ve experienced a range of emotions in the run up to the
event and even now, 2 days before, I can feel a mix of nerves and excitement. I
would greatly appreciate all donations big and small and thank you for your support
in my running journey.
