I am running my first marathon in Paris on April 12 to support the incredible work of Rephael House, where I work as a psychotherapist supporting children and young people.

Rephael House is a charity which is unique in providing both low cost, and long term support, to those most in need. Over the past five years I have had the privilege of working with an incredibly dedicated team who believe that long term therapy should be accessible to all. I have witnessed first hand how transformative and empowering this work can be for children and young people.

I have been training for the last 12 months, from couch to 42k, getting very wet and windswept to get to the start line and I'm nearly there. It will be slow and not pretty! But I am determined to run it to raise as much money as I can for this amazing charity.

Anyone who feels able to support me thank you very much.
