Helloooo, for some reason I'm running the Hackney Half Marathon on May 18.

Apart from the 5k Edinburgh Colour Run I mostly walked in circa 2014, this will be the first time I do a race. It may also be the *only time* I ever do a race. Therefore, I thought I may as well make a fundraiser for it.

I'm hoping to raise some cash for the Westerhaven centre, a specialist service for people living in south-west Edinburgh who are affected by cancer and other long term conditions.

The Westerhaven (part of The Health Agency, a charity based in Wester Hailes) provides counselling, support for the bereaved and other essential services and has greatly helped my family over the years.

They’re a small org doing important local work so if you’re feeling generous, please consider leaving a donation, no matter how small. If you can't, please join me in prayer that I do not make running my entire personality.
