Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a shocking turn of events, in just two months I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon - a sentence I never would’ve imagined I would say this time last year while I tried to tackle couch to 5K for the third time

Having never been a particularly sporty person (even being known to stay in and revise rather than take part in PE at school), spending my time running, dancing and Pilates-ing my way through the past year has made me realise just how important activity is for our physical and mental health especially. It is my pleasure to raise money on behalf of The Mintridge Foundation, who aim to give young people the opportunities to access sport and have positive role models to encourage them in this.
