Story

After completing two successful half marathons, I decided it was time to take on a new challenge and step up to a full marathon.

Pushing myself further felt like the right next move, and I wanted to make the effort count for something more than just the finish line. That’s why I’ve chosen to run in support of Samaritans.

They do incredible work providing support to people who are struggling, often when they need it most. By taking on this marathon, I’m hoping not only to challenge myself, but also to raise as much money as possible to help them continue their vital work.

Any support would mean a great deal thank you.
