In November, I’ll be taking part in my first trail run — the Endurancelife Gower https://www.endurancelife.com/gower.

The route follows the stunning coastline of the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s known for its dramatic cliffs, woodlands, sand dunes and beaches — and for being quite hilly! So I start off with the 10k.

I’m running to raise money for Womankind, a Bristol-based mental health charity run by women, for women. Womankind supports women to improve their mental health and well-being through services such as a helpline, specialist trauma counselling, group therapy, and befriending. Each year, their helpline receives around 6,500 calls — many from women affected by sexual or domestic abuse.

If you’re able to donate, it would mean a lot and help Womankind continue their vital work. Thank you for reading and for any support you can give.
