At the end of April, I’ll be taking on my first ever ultramarathon, joined by my husband, Sam. This felt like a brilliant idea back in December when we signed up! I’ll admit, my training hasn’t been perfect and arguably I should have done a lot more! However, I’m determined to cross that finish line to raise money for the Percy Hedley Foundation.

I’ve been a Trustee of this incredible charity for over three years, and I’ve seen firsthand how every penny goes straight back into supporting children, young people and adults with disabilities across the North East. Percy Hedley has been transforming lives for more than 65 years, including helping my brother, Steven back in the 1990’s. He remains my inspiration for so much in my life, and this is one way that I can continue to support his memory. Thank you so much for any support you can provide. X
