This May I will be taking part in the Brathay 10in10 (10 marathons in 10 days). This event has been described as the UK's ultimate endurance running event, and it involves doing the Windermere Marathon every day for 10 consecutive days. As you can imagine with the location of the marathon, it is a challenging route and is one of the toughest road marathons in the UK. This challenge is going to push me to my limits both mentally and physically. Having run a few marathons before, I know how tired and achey my body is after just one, so it is going to be incredibly demanding to keep running day after day for 10 days.

Working in the NHS I see the impact charities have through improving the life chances and experiences of children and young people. I want to do my own bit to raise money for a charity which does exactly that, and the Brathay Trust is the perfect fit.

The work the Brathay Trust does to support some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in society to improve their wellbeing and life chances is invaluable. The charity transforms lives by providing self-development and support programmes for children, young people and families from economically-deprived areas across England. These programmes promote the core social and emotional attitudes, skills and capabilities to enable a lifetime of wellbeing. The Brathay Trust works with children and young people of all ages, many of them ‘victims’ of circumstance, be it crime or abuse; battling with addiction or mental health; making the difficult transition from a life in care, or facing complex family issues. 

Please donate whatever you can to support me on my journey and raise as much money as possible for this special charity. Every single penny raised on this page will go towards the work that the Brathay Trust does. 

Thank you so much!
