This year I am running 24 ultramarathons and 12 marathons, alongside studying, working, parenting, and attempting to have a little bit of free time too.

Some of these races will be through Keighley and Craven Athletics Club, and some will be representing Manchester University Athletics and Cross Country Team.

There will be races ranging from 26.2 to 155 miles, across 3 different continents, so when Airedale Hospital and Community Charity approached me to see if I would raise funds for them whilst I am running, I was more than happy to agree. 

The charity provides the extra touches that make a patients hospital experience a more comfortable one, and I have seen first hand how much these extra touches are appreciated.
