Story

Up until a few days ago, I wasn’t going to shout about entering the MK marathon mainly for fear of not finishing it! I still have that fear but as I was sat in the sun this week learning my TEDx talk that I’m doing a week before this run, I realised fear was stopping me supporting a really great charity. My talk is all about mental health and well-being and how we must take care of our wonderful selves and to reach out for support when life just gets too much. Because life can easily become too much and having somewhere to turn so you don’t feel alone, could be life saving.

Your individual donation may not actually feel like it can make a difference in the grand scheme of things, but it really can... any amount would be amazing, because collectively we can support others.

My legs get wobbly just thinking about running 26 ish miles... if you’re in MK on Monday 7th May, I’d love to see you on the course somewhere ❤️🏃🏻‍♀️👊🏼
