I’m taking on a Couch Potato to 5K challenge to raise money for Cranstoun Inspire 🏃‍♀️💛

They’ve done so much for me through my struggles with alcohol. They’ve supported me through some really difficult times, helped me get back up when things haven’t gone to plan, and kept believing in me when I struggled to believe in myself. I owe them so much, and I wanted to do something to give back and help them continue supporting other people like me.

I’ll be training three times a week for eight weeks, building up from short bursts of running and walking to hopefully running a full 5K. Having just been to the gym for the first time in three years, the couch potato part is fairly accurate 😂 This will be a proper challenge for me, but I’m determined to stick with it. It feels like a positive way to look after myself while giving something back to the people who’ve helped me so much.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Sharing this post would mean a lot too. Thank you ❤️
