Three years ago I decided to start running with the help of Couch to 5K and even with a few injuries along the way have grown to love it after spending many years thinking I wasn't 'athletic' or 'sporty'.

Last year I decided to join the running club that had been set up by Reading Pride which has led to making wonderful friends and helped encourage me to push myself further, including this new venture of running a half marathon, something I never thought I'd do!

I'd love to help raise money for a charity that helps the local LGBTQ+ community through all their work, not just when it comes to the Pride celebrations in August, but throughout the year. So I would be very grateful for any donations as I decide to get myself over the finish line of Reading Half Marathon on the 22nd of March a sweaty, curly, but very much proud mess.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
