Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having run a marathon in my 20s, clearly it was a long time ago as I must have forgotten the pain (!) and have now decided to run another as I approach my 40th. I am not a runner but am aiming to complete in under 3 hours...! (half marathon is 13.1 miles or 21km)

I've been working at World Jewish Relief for over 10 years and its been (and remains) a huge and important part of my life. It is a wonderful charity doing work to support people in need in so many ways, and I am raising funds specifically for our work in Ukraine. Older people are disproportionately affected by Russia's ongoing war and the funds raised will support our work with the local organisation 'Starenki' to provide ongoing humanitarian aid (food, hygiene items) to 700 elderly people living in front-line communities, who mostly live alone.

Any support will be motivating during my training and the race, so thank you for taking a look at my page :)
