Story

No one was more surprised than me when my name was picked from my amazing running club’s marathon lottery draw!

With a dodgy ankle and a dose of Covid, the training started just 12 weeks before the event, and thanks to the support of my fabulous running buddies, I think I might make it round!

26.2 miles is a looooong way!

There was only ever one charity that I would do this crazy challenge for, the one that means so much to me.Tourettes Action receive no government funding so rely on donations to enable us to continue to offer help and support to the TS community  

My personal experience of helping at our adult and teen weekends is both inspiring and heartbreaking, seeing the struggle for acceptance in an oftentimes cruel and unkind society. This highlights how essential these weekends are, so we need funding to secure future events  

Thank you for reading my pledge and for your encouragement and support xx
