Hi everyone, firstly thank you so much for looking at my page. I am running London Marathon 2026 and two half marathons in the 'run' up to it: Royal Parks Half Marathon on 12th October (complete), and Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon on 22nd February (making up 50 miles total) for my 50th year.

I wanted to try and do something to put all my running to good use this year. OMG what I am thinking!?

I am running for the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) who aim to transform young lives through travel and adventure.

They fund stays so that families facing adversity have the chance to gain confidence, new skills and a new perspective on the world as well as providing inspiring places to stay and opportunities to explore.

You can find out more about the amazing work they do here: https://www.yha.org.uk/

I know money is tight for everyone, so anything you contribute would be hugely appreciated - whether that be pennies towards my fundraising target, or a wave if you see me out on one of my training runs. Let's do this! Lots of love and thanks. x
