Oxford Half Marathon 2026 · 11 October 2026 ·

Story

I started running about 15 years ago when my youngest 4th child started school. I joined a local running group a few years later and my love / need for running hasn’t stopped.

I usually don’t run for a cause, but Home-start is close to my heart despite having started volunteering for them just a few months ago. I strongly believe that support to families is really important: don’t we say, happy parents, happy children? I have struggled many times during my parenting for different reasons each time and I know that I would have liked at the time to have a friendly, non judgmental person to listen to me and to reassure me.

Parenting can be like running a Half-marathon : tough training days, high and low times but at the end, the juice is worth the squeeze .

Please sponsor me to help Home-Start give other families the support they need. Thank you
