It's been over 10 years since I ran my first marathon (London Marathon) so this may be a shock to the system, but I'll be giving it my all for 42.2 kilometres.

Those who know me know my passion for animals and the work I do has allowed me to be part of some amazing projects including the rescue of elephants in Thailand, the exposure of illegal trade in jaguar skins in Bolivia and working with partners to protect lions in South Africa. I'm proud to be running for World Animal Protection and working on projects worldwide.

Thank you for your donation and support and for coming along on this journey with me. You can also join me on the run as I share my training progress leading up to the big day via Strava. I'm hoping for no cramps but ready to make every blister count :-)
