Story

Hi, I am Rachel!

Those who know me will know I have ZERO running ability or confidence. I literally only ever run a bath.

Mental and overall health is my passion in life, I am currently hoping to recruit into the army as a mental health nurse working with soldiers who have Mental illness such as PTSD. 

Therefore I have decided to combine my need to improve my fitness along with hopefully raising a few quid for Rethink Mental Illness charity and run the equivalent of a marathon in a month (In winter). 

Just to make it interesting... if anyone actually sponsors me (I know funds are super tight for everyone this year.. so no pressure, I would still appreciate shares and words of encouragement) once I have hit 26 miles over a month... for every tenner sponsored, I will add another mile to my distance!

*side note* A lot of people will be struggling with their mental wellbeing this year, there is no shame in admitting this or seeking the help which you need.
