On 15th June, I’ll be hitting the streets of Leeds for the 10K, not just for the challenge, but to support the wonderful Smart Works Leeds. I'm also proud to say that if my discs hold up (they have slipped twice in the last 7 months so keep everything crossed!) then I will also be running the Blackpool Half Marathon on 27th April.

Smart Works transforms the lives of unemployed women by giving them the clothing, coaching, and confidence they need to succeed in job interviews and transform their future. Every donation helps another woman take that crucial step to growing in confidence, getting the job and changing their lives.

As you may know, I am proud to work for this amazing charity, who also helped me so much personally as I navigated twin motherhood, giving me the opportunity to work flexibly and stay in the work place and balancing this with being a stay at home twin mum. Over 50% of the women we support at Smart Works are mothers, and there is something profoundly moving about the way we can transform someone's confidence, giving them time to be themselves, and to really look in the mirror and see their true potential, and how amazing they are.

We need your help more than ever, as we ail to double the size of our centre in Leeds, and grow our team in order to support more women.

I know times are really tricky, but anything you can spare would mean the world. Thank you.
