I started running 3 years ago with the Bollington Harriers (Couch to 5K, 2018) and it has since become an important part of my life having experienced first hand how running can transform mental and physical wellbeing in many ways. The Bridgend Centre is a small, local charity that works tirelessly to reduce social isolation and support the mental and physical wellbeing of the community in which I live - it is one of the charities that I support and is aligned with the Bollington Harriers’ purpose and values. I have been training for the Lakeland Trails 55K for several months, following the postponement of last year’s event which I had originally planned to run - it will be a suitably challenging route with 3 mountain passes and 7,000 ft ascent (more at https://www.lakelandtrails.org/ultra). I would like to raise funds for The Bridgend Centre through this activity.
