UPDATE : I have been unable to run due to health complications, I am building up to being able to run the distance over a 7day period as pushing myself more then this will result in complete burn out.  thank you for your continued love & support!  One way or another I'll make it over that finish line! xx

Updated Goal:  Mermaids Charity has never needed the support as much as it does now.  Thank you for your donations.  

Original Goal & Motive

Made it to 32! Never felt so blessed to be alive!

This is the first birthday I have ever felt excited for and feeling more alive than ever! So much so that something possessed me to sign up to the Hackney Half Marathon on 17th May 2020 after seeing my superhero friend @Calypso_bb run the marathon last year! 

I've never run in my life and am proud to be supported by my workplace I Am Sound Academy to run and raise money for Mermaids, a charity that supports gender-diverse kids, young people and their families. All children deserve the freedom and confidence to explore their gender identity wherever their journey takes them, free from fear, isolation and discrimination and Mermaids offer the support in which for children to do so.

My mission this year is to help anyone who is struggling with mental health as much as possible so I hoping this might inspire someone else to try something new no matter scary it may seem. If you'd like to donate or support my run please donate here: all donations appreciated.

To all my friends, family and chosen family, you all continue to inspire me daily - I love you all so much!  

THANK YOU ALL for your support xxx
