A couple of years ago I decided to stop smoking and embark on what at that time thought was the impossible, running a half marathon.

Had to start from scratch, I was unfit and unable to run longer than a few minutes.

Despite this and with the help of some amazing friends, I did run and finish the race.

Little did I know that running would become a passion and that I would continue to run almost every day since.

Fast forward to today, I have decided to do it again: better, faster and more prepared than ever 🏃‍♀️💪🏻

And this time I will run for a very special cause, I will raise money to support Shooting Star Children’s hospices - in memory of a little girl called Lottie, who was born a warrior and passed as one at the age of 5

The race will take place in Brighton on Sunday 25th February 2024

Anything you can spare to support this cause is much appreciated 🙏🏻
