Like everyone else who turns 30, I’ve decided to set myself a challenge. On 21 June 2025 I will be running a Total Warrior.

I can’t legally bribe you to donate, but I can tell you I’ll be running in memory of my nana. Although I will celebrate the end of my 20s with family, friends and dogs, Nana’s absence will be felt.

If you can spare £1 or two it’d be much appreciated, and if you can’t there is no pressure to - your thoughts are more than enough… and if you can but choose not to… just know Nana will be haunting you.

I’m raising alongside my friend Mandy, who also turns 30 in March. She is raising money in memory of her dad. You can find details of Mandy’s fundraising on our team page.
