The race is on!! Last year, I challenged myself with a 10K run, pushing past limits I once thought impossible. This year, I've decided to test myself even further by doubling the distance and embracing the challenge of a 21K run at the Great Manchester Run Half Marathon on Sunday 18th May 2025. I know, I must be nuts!! A few years ago, if someone had said that I would be running a half marathon, I would have laughed and said, "Are you actually kidding me?" And yet here I am today training for this new challenge ahead.

The race is on!! This is not just a race; it’s an opportunity to make a difference. My colleague and I will be going head-to-head in a race to reach that finishing line. We're making it even more exciting - you can place a bet on who will cross that finish line first. Think I've got what it takes? Or are you backing my competitor Mohsin? Put your donation where your prediction is and let’s make this race count!

The race is on!! We are lacing up our running shoes and hitting the pavement for our chosen charity: MFT Charity. This incredible organization supports hospitals across Greater Manchester, funding essential services, innovative treatments, and vital research. Their work ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care, from premature babies in neonatal units to elderly patients requiring specialized treatment.

I believe in the power of collective action. Together, we can help ensure that every patient receives the care they deserve. Please consider supporting my journey by donating towards my target of £200 for this worthy cause. With your help, we can make a significant impact!

With love Mairita xXxx
