As many of you know, I LOVE running! From solo runs, to ones with the pup, to weekly runs with the run club thatI host! It not only keeps me fit but brings such a sense of community!! The Cardiff half marathon 2025 will be my 9th half marathon (crazy considering I did the couch to 5K 2 years ago). In my whole running journey i have never asked my friends or family for money towards a race, however, as this will be a big race for me I thought I would raise some money for such a good cause! 🤘

This is a big race for me because last year I competed in the Cardiff half despite being ill and ended up pushing myself to exhaustion. Surprisingly I crossed the finish line (albeit I don’t remember tbat) and ended up in the medical tent with a temperature very close to seizure zone. I felt the worst I ever had and swore I would never race a half marathon again, but here I am on my redemption arc🤝

A lot of you also know that I’m taking on the huge challenge of doing a year sober, and for someone who used to drink A LOT, this is really big for me! I’m 9 months in and have been promised a pint at the end of the year by lots of you haha, so if you could please spend the money you would’ve on buying me a celebratory pint, on this just giving page, I would be so so grateful! ❣️

Thanks for reading my novel and hopefully see you all (and remember you all) at the finish line xx
