Story

sooooooo. i guess i’m running 21.1k on october 12th for Making the Leap! (help!!!)

i can't think of a charity i'd rather run for as Making the Leap are actually amazing. they help young people from less-advantaged backgrounds get into careers they deserve. access. confidence. opportunity. all the stuff the world says it gives equally, but doesn’t really. at BBD Perfect Storm, we've been lucky enough to partner with them continually over the years and so i know firsthand just how amazing they are and I couldn't be prouder to be running for them on the big day.

as someone working class, this one feels personal. i wouldn’t be where i am now without people helping me out. so this is me, alongside team BBD Perfect Form putting one lil foot in front of the other to try and make a difference.

have i ever run more than 6k before? no.

am i bricking it? absolutely yes.

will i definitely cry as i cross the finish line? also yes.

if you can donate, amazing. if you can’t, that’s fine too – words of encouragement, rogue training tips, or just following along on instagram/strava and watching me suffer will all be very much appreciated.

let’s do this. let’s cry. let’s chafe. let’s smash it. mwah xxx
