On 27 September 2026, I'll be lacing up my trainers again and getting ready to take on The Dartmoor Beast.

This brand new race will be a physical and mental test, but I’m prepared to push myself to the limits to conquer the challenge. Rivers, tors, bogs and steep climbs will be no match for me – because I won’t only be running for myself.

I’ll be running for Hospiscare. This was a charity that my Nanna supported for many, many years in her retirement and thus legacy has been carried on by many of my family members-Aunts, my mum and now I thought I’d do my bit.

This really will be a test of physical endurance and I am putting my body on the line. I’ve ran a few half marathons in the past, so this 20 miler over extremely tough terrain is a big step up in distance on tough ground….. Needless to say, I’m going to have to put extra effort into my training over the next few months!

I’ll be running for local patients and their families, to help ensure they receive the expert end-of-life care, comfort and support they need as they face one of life’s most difficult journeys.

I’ll be running to make a difference – and together, we can make every mile count. So please, if you can, consider making a donation today.

Thank you for your support! It really means the world to me.
