Hi everyone,

As some of you are aware I like to do crazy things for charities that are close to my heart and make a huge difference to those they support. So for 2024 I have chosen and have the privilege to be raising money for Bowel Cancer UK! I will be taking on the 5km, 10km and half marathon at Run Bournemouth in October 2024. Along the way the way I will set myself a number of other challenges as I get ready to take on the 3 races ❤️

I will also be doing a number of other challenge throughout the year including a walk from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head and back, cycling over 2000 miles over the year, doing over 6 million steps and running over a 1000 miles throughout. And maybe a few other challenges yet to be decided. Any ideas???

Who are Bowel Cancer UK?
