This year I decided I would try to challenge myself throughout the year! When I saw the theatre was looking for people to run as part of a theatre half marathon team I thought that’s it! That’s the challenge I’m looking for! I mean, can you name a better challenge for someone who’s never ran 🙈

So here I am, training for a half marathon 😬🤣

Why am I running to raise money for Chippy Theatre?

It's been at the heart of our town and community for 50 years and has a packed programme of live theatre, music comedy and of course panto; they also welcome over 400 young people, adults and people with disabilities every week in their Take Part courses in youth theatre, drama, dance and writing.

That's not all, they believe Theatre is for everyone, and use art and drama to provide opportunity to those who are disadvantaged and create real, positive change in our our community by working in schools, supporting mental health, providing free opportunities to try out drama, arts and see shows, and providing bursaries for young people.
