Story

Two Medals, Two Marathons, and One... Baby?

​I’ve decided to push my "bang average runner" status to the absolute limit by taking on two half marathons in just 30 days. I’ll be hitting the pavement for the Plymouth Half on 17th May, followed by the Mount Edgcumbe Trail Half on 16th June.

To add a bit of extra pressure, the second race is not long before Ellie Brearley is due to give birth 😬 The goal isn't just a personal best; it’s finishing fast enough to make it to the delivery room.

​I’m doing all of this to support the Plymouth Highbury Trust, a fantastic local charity. Any donation you can spare—big or small—would mean the world to me (and might just give me the extra legs I need to get to the finish line!).
