Claire and I are running the Windsor Half Marathon on 27th September to raise money for a day centre that holds such a special place in both of our hearts. Claire pours her love and dedication into the centre every single day as its manager, and since September I’ve been lucky enough to volunteer there every Tuesday. In that time, I’ve seen first-hand just how much it means to the people who walk through its doors.

It’s not just somewhere people come for a hot meal or a cup of tea — it’s somewhere they are welcomed, valued and truly cared for. It’s the laughter shared on day trips, the comfort of familiar faces, the warmth of conversation, and the reassurance that no one has to feel alone. The day centre brings people together in the most beautiful way, creating connections, kindness and hope.

We are more than a community there — we are a family. We support one another through difficult days, celebrate the small moments, and create memories that mean everything. This charity has touched both of our lives so deeply, and running this race is our way of giving something back to a place that gives so much to others. Every step we take will be filled with gratitude, love and determination 💛🏃‍♀️✨
