🗽 I’m running the New York City Marathon! 🏃‍♀️

On Sunday 1st November, I’ll be taking on the 26.2 miles of the New York City Marathon — something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and have spent months training for.

I was fortunate enough to secure my place without a charity entry, so I didn’t have to fundraise. But so many people have asked if they could sponsor me that I decided to use this opportunity to support something very close to my heart — our local Community First Responders.

As many of you know, I’m a Community First Responder myself, and I also help look after the community defibrillators in and around Eyemouth. I see first-hand just how important it is to have lifesaving equipment available when someone suddenly becomes seriously unwell.

Right now, our charity funds are extremely low, and we really do need support.

Our community defibrillators need replacement pads and batteries, repairs, new cabinets and ongoing maintenance. They’re there for every one of us — and one day it could be our friend, neighbour or someone we love who needs one.

So with New York getting very close, I’ve set myself a target of raising £500.

If you can spare £5, £10 or anything at all, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation really does make a difference — and if you can’t donate, sharing my page would mean just as much.

Thank you so much for supporting me, our responders and our local communities. 💚

26.2 miles, one very tired pair of legs, and hopefully £500 for our Community First Responders! 🗽🏃‍♀️
