Welcome to my challenge of running every single day for a whole year! Having started a personal challenge to run every day for 100 days in September last year, I completed this first milestone in December last year. Having felt so much benefit from this, I decided to keep going and try and continue for a full year of running. There’s been many an obstacle along the way such as forgetting my trainers when going away! But so far I've managed to run every day, one way or another, no matter where I have been or what I have been doing (so far, so good anyway)! My rules for my runs have been a minimum of a mile daily but have been a huge variety of distances including the Wilmslow and Buxton Half Marathons, the Festive 10K, the Stockport 10 amongst many other organised runs and lots of lovely social runs with friends.

So here we are, almost reaching a full 365 days of running with a countdown to the finish on 2nd September. For my final run, I will be inviting my friends, family and wider community to join me and as this has become something much bigger than my original personal challenge, I would also like to take this opportunity to support a great cause.

The charity I have chosen is The Trussell Trust who's aim is to stop UK hunger and provide access to Food Banks for those who need them. As a Nutritional Therapist, I mostly work with those who have choice in what foods they consume. I'm acutely aware that access to food, let alone choice, isn't an option for so many people hence wanting to support the valuable work of this charity.

Thank you for taking the time to read and any donation no matter how small will be greatly appreciated. And please do join me on the 2nd...

More about The Trussell Trust:

Our vision is for a UK without the need for food banks.

We say this because it’s not right that anyone cannot afford their own food. That’s why we are working towards a just, compassionate future, where no one should have to use a food bank to get by.

Our vision is ambitious, but we know that if we work together it is possible. We can create a future where nobody goes hungry, because nobody will allow it – when we work Together for Change.
