Once again I am lacing up my trainers and trying to raise money for Education Futures Trust.

Running has been missing in my life for a while now and this seemed like a perfect opportunity to raise some much needed funds whilst finding my running mojo again.

In 2023 I joined the Charity, my role was to oversee the catering provision to help provide a small revenue to support the incredible courses that are run all through the year by a team of enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated coaches and key workers.

It was in that moment that my eyes were opened to a world that I wasn't aware even existed.

All courses are free and fully funded, the support and mentorship that is offered through these courses are vital in improving our participant's lives, the lives of the children we encourage and inspire to succeed, the mental health and wellbeing of the adults that attend our sessions, the alternative provisions we provide for those within our society that are vulnerable and struggling is all given for free.

However funding is becoming harder to achieve as resources are stretched. We want to continue the important work that we are all so passionate about. By challenging myself and increasing my fitness I can hopefully raise awareness of EFT and help put some pennies in our funding pot.

Please if you can spare anything and help me to achieve my target I will be incredibly grateful.
