Hello friends, family, and kind strangers!

Those who know me know that I love running. Yet, I have never actually raced before. So, this year, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone and taking on the Balmoral 10k. But this isn’t just about challenging myself; it is about raising money for a great cause.

I’m running to support women’s health research at the University of Aberdeen. The team at the Aberdeen Centre for Women’s Health, in collaboration with NHS colleagues, is working hard to improve the lives of women at every stage of life. Their research will have a direct impact, addressing women’s clinical needs and identifying the best ways to deliver effective and personalised care for conditions from fertility through pregnancy, childbirth, menstrual disorders, precancerous conditions to pelvic floor disorders and incontinence.

With your support, this research can have a real and lasting impact. Every donation, no matter the size, will help advance this vital work. You can read more about the incredible work being done here: www.abdn.ac.uk/acwhr/

Thank you so much for your support!
