Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, I’ve never been a runner girlie. The most I had ever run before this was 5km.

Last year, I went to cheer a colleague who was running in the Edinburgh Marathon and was totally inspired by all of those involved. In a bit of a moment of madness (and a bit of persuasion from the guys in my old work) I signed up for the half marathon in May 2024 and a lot of friends & family could not quite believe it!

I have been training on and off since September 2023 and have been logging my efforts on my instagram page @runjojrun with some amazing support so far.

I initially signed up for the race for myself but I have been asked a few times if I am running for charity and I have decided that I may as well raise some money for a good cause at the same time.

I am running for a local food bank, which is part of the Trussel Trust network and is specifically for those living in EH6 and EH7. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Also please come along to cheer me on during my half marathon if you’re around on Sunday 26th May ☺️ Just look out the little tomato face… I will definitely need all of the encouragement that I can get!
