Gemma's fundraiser for Swansea Women's Aid

Story

In 2026 and 2027, I’ll be taking on three huge challenges: the Swansea 10K, the Swansea Half Marathon, and the Manchester Marathon, all in support of Swansea Women’s Aid.

This charity is incredibly close to my heart. They helped my sister escape an abusive relationship and continue to support her through the ongoing challenges of post-separation abuse. Seeing first-hand the life-changing work they do has inspired me to give something back and help ensure they can continue supporting others who need it.

For me, this journey is about much more than running. Over the last 18 months, I have lost 6 stone and completely transformed my lifestyle. What once felt impossible—walking longer distances—is now being replaced with a determination to run. Taking on a marathon is something I never imagined I would be capable of, making this challenge both exciting and deeply personal.

Every mile I run will be for the survivors and families supported by Swansea Women’s Aid, and every donation will help them continue their vital work.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and generosity. Together, we can make a real difference.
