It seems I didn’t think life was busy enough with two wild boys, so I’ve decided to add marathon training into the mix. Thanks to some peer pressure from my colleagues, I’ve committed to running for the British Red Cross alongside my teammates at the AELTC. When I agreed to this, my running experience was limited to the occasional 5k and a 10k attempt that left me barely able to walk for days, so completing both the training and the race will definitely be a challenge.

Any donations you can make are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to celebrating the marathon’s completion in April!

Together, we are the world’s emergency responders. When you see a major emergency in the news, it’s likely that the British Red Cross are helping those affected. From earthquakes to armed conflict, from fires to floods, in the UK and abroad, our teams react quickly with humanitarian aid and kindness across 192 countries, applying local knowledge and global expertise to save lives and provide comfort. Outside of emergencies, in the UK, our services reach people who are vulnerable to provide company, care and compassion.
