It’s time to lace up my trail shoes again (and protect the toes 🫣!) for my next challenge - the 100km Beacons Way Ultramarathon along the Brecon Beacons in South Wales.

I’m extra nervous for this challenge as it starts at midday and therefore I’ll be running (well walking by that point probably!) through the night. Hopefully a lovely sunset and sunrise over the mountains though!

I’m raising funds for City of Sanctuary who work city by city, community by community, to build a more welcoming UK for people forced to flee their homes.

They work with individuals, groups and organisations in every area and in every sector to encourage inclusivity, solidarity and compassion for people from a forced displacement background.

This work has never felt more important. Please spare any contributions - small or large - to fund this vital work.
