On Sunday 6th September 2026, I'll be taking on my first ever 10K race at the Birmingham Running Festival, Sutton Coldfield!

This isn't just a race for me - it's one that means more than I can put into words...

Last year, I received support from Black Country Women's Aid during one of the hardest periods of my life. Since then, running has become a huge part of my recovery. Every run has helped me rebuild my confidence, clear my mind and remind me that I'm stronger than I ever believed.

Black Country Women's Aid provides life-changing support to women, children and families when they need it most. If my fundraising helps even one person receive the same kindness, compassion and support that I received, then every mile will have been worth it.

Any support, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to me - thank you!
