I started running during the pandemic to improve my physical and mental health. One year later I am entering my first race at the end of September to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday by raising money for the radiotherapy ward at Southampton General Hospital, which has provided excellent care to him since his recent cancer diagnosis.

My aim is to first finish, but if I can get around the course in under 3 hours I will be ecstatic! If you are able to give, it would be greatly appreciated; if you cannot, please share with those who may.
