In October 2025, I’ll be hitting the big 5️⃣-0️⃣, so I’m setting myself a challenge: running 🏃‍♂️ 10 half marathons in 10 months (run10in10by50).

I’ll be raising money for Helen & Douglas House ❤️, an incredible charity that supports kids and young adults with life-limiting conditions. Part of my rehab after struggling with my mental health 🧠💙 has been volunteering in my local H&D House charity shop 🛍️ – a place that plays an important role in the local community 🤝.

🚨 GAV NEEDS YOU! 🚨

This is going to be a big challenge for me (I’m getting old and not really built for speed 🐢!!!), so this is where you come in! 😊

🏃‍♀️ RUN – Come and join me on any of the runs (I’ll be posting a list of all 10 in the coming days 🗒️, and if you need more details, just get in touch).

💰 DONATE – Show your support for this aging plodder by splashing your cash 💵 (pop over to my JustGiving page).

📣 CHEER – Shout and scream from the sidelines to get me over the line 🙌🎉.

Let’s keep the momentum building by 👍Liking , 🔄 Sharing , and 💖 Donating... and keep following my progress on Facebook and Instagram too.
