Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m running a half marathon for Meeting Needs – which is quite a big deal for someone who genuinely hates running!

This will be the furthest I’ve ever run, and as someone who also hates asking people for money, I’m definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone in more ways than one.

Meeting Needs is a brilliant charity supporting smaller organisations and good causes that often struggle to access traditional funding. Having worked in the events industry for many years, it feels like a particularly fitting cause to put myself through 13.1 miles for.

So, with a bit of training, a bit of luck and hopefully functioning legs, I’m going for it.

If you can spare anything at all, I’d be hugely grateful. Thank you! ❤️
