Hello!

After swearing I'd never run a half marathon...I'm running a half marathon!

I'll be pounding the pavements of Brum to raise funds for Birmingham Settlement, the amazing charity I work for that supports people through life's toughest challenges.

Birmingham Settlement helps people in times of need - rising living costs, cuts to local services and increased inequality - offering welfare advice, opportunities, and welcoming spaces where no one has to go it alone.

I need all the motivation I can get to train in this cold, miserable, dank weather so please if you can, dangle a few pound-shaped carrots of solidarity!

Much love and thank you for anything you can give!
