Eighteen months ago, I started my running journey after losing weight. I hadn't run since school, so taking on this challenge has pushed me far beyond what I ever thought I was capable of.

This run is about so much more than crossing a finish line. I'm running in memory of Ray, dad to Rachel, Andy and Beth, grandad to Arthur, Violet and Aubrey.

When their dad went missing, Nottingham Search and Rescue were there to support the family through an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time. They provide a vital service to families facing unimaginable circumstances, and they do it entirely through the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of donations.

Every search they carry out and every family they support is only possible because of people who give their time and kindness.

If you'd like to support me and help Nottingham Search and Rescue continue their incredible work, I'd be so grateful for any donation, no matter how big or small. Your support will make a real difference.

Thank you
