Story

hi so my running journey started back in January with c25k I completed the 9 week course trying to lose weight and get healthier after that I wanted to keep running so I found the Nike running app and kept going.

Recently I did my first fundraiser for my brother by completing my first 10k official race and managed to raise an amazing £700 for the Ayrshire Hospice who looked after my brother before he passed 💜

So with that success my nephew Kieran (my brothers son) said he would do a run with me and on the night of me finishing the 10k we signed up for the great Scottish run half marathon now this is the biggest challenge I am facing on my journey but it’s for such a good cause I’m up for this challenge with the help of family friends etc I’m sure we can beat this challenge raise some money and push me on to the ultimate challenge

Running a full marathon one day

Thanks for reading my story please share to help me reach my goals

Thanks for your support 💜
