Hi!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’ll start with a confession: I am not a runner. 🫣 The last time I ran 10k was in 2018, and I’m fairly sure I complained about it the whole time! So signing up to run a half marathon feels… bold. Slightly unhinged. But mostly important.

I’m running for my two young daughters to show them that you can put your mind to anything, even if it is really hard…

✨ So why am I really doing this? ✨

I want to raise money for a charity (ELFT) that is close to my heart.♥️

After having the textbook perfect pregnancy, the delivery and recovery from my first was a much more complicated experience (especially during covid) which made the decision of having a 2nd baby that more trickier. With the help & support from the OCEAN team.. I was able to have the best experience with my 2nd that became empowering and healing.

ELFT support women & families by helping them navigate difficult experiences around pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood, giving them confidence, strength, and support.

The funds raised will help support projects that improve the experience of both staff and the people who use their services. When staff feel supported, patients feel it too. It will help the NHS go further not just in treatment, but in compassion, dignity, and care.

Training has already started & mostly involves me running through the rain questioning my life choices. At one point I genuinely wasn’t sure if it was the rain or my tears 😭😆

But a challenge is a challenge & now with 8 weeks to go! I need your help!

If you’re able to donate, that would be amazing and keep me running!

Here’s to doing the harder things and showing our children that we can. 💛
