We are living through a period of significant uncertainty, and for the first time in my life, I felt a sense of despair and hopelessness for future generations. I decided to channel my inner frustration and anxiety towards something productive and a voice in my head told me to try running. Running consistently has literally transformed my life and I am going for my next goal: to run a half marathon.

Run For Heroes is on a mission to get as many people active as possible, while raising vital funds for health and wellbeing initiatives across the UK. In 2020, they raised over £10 million for NHS Charities Together with the viral campaign #Run5Donate5Nominate5, which got over 1.5 million people moving and giving back.

Today, they continue to champion healthcare initiatives - whether by awarding grants to healthcare workers, supporting preventive healthcare through youth activity programmes, or funding mental health initiatives. To find out more, please visit: www.runforheroes.org.uk.

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
