Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Only two months ago my personal trainer, Johnson Hallim, asked me if I would be up for running half a marathon. I told him that I hated running, I was no good at it and I wasn't sure if I could do it. He didn't try to change my mind on the day and he just incorporated running into our usual work-out routine. Every week the distance grew and, before I knew it, I had run 20k whilst training with him! He had proved to me that what I was facing was a self limiting belief and that, surely, we should go for a full marathon!

So, here I am, I have just signed up to Endurance Life North York Moors marathon which I will be running on the 3rd of October 2020:

Self limiting beliefs are what I help people break down through coaching them and running a marathon is my way of breaking my own self limiting belief! I am not an athlete and I have never been into running but I am going to do it because the only limits we have are the ones we create ourselves. 

I have chosen to support Pendleside Hospice because they were absolutely fabulous with me when my mum sadly passed away 6 years ago. They offered me free bereavement counselling within a couple of weeks of my contacting them and they helped me seeing the bright side of life again. 

And that's my story: running in the name of coaching, breaking down mental barriers and in memory of my mum!

Thanks everyone for your support
