I only started running 5kms in August 2025. Back then, I was just trying to get through a short run without stopping, never imagining I’d take on something as big as the Great North Run.

But one run led to another, and before I knew it, I’d signed up for my first half marathon in Northern Lincolnshire — and then the Great North Run.

I completed the Skegness 10km in January 2026, and it’s sparked a real passion in me to take on more running challenges. What started as a single race has turned into a drive to push my limits, stay consistent, and see how far I can go.

Thank you so much to everyone for each and every donation. Your kindness and generosity mean more than I can say. I’m truly grateful for all the support — thank you for believing in me and for helping make a difference.
