Story

I’m raising money for Brake, a charity that has supported me through one of the most difficult times in my life. My mum was tragically killed by a drug driver, and the impact of that loss is something I continue to live with every day.

During this time, Brake has been an incredible source of support. They have provided guidance, understanding, and compassion when I needed it most, helping me to cope with my grief and begin to rebuild. I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without their help.

Now, I want to give something back. I’ll be running the Birmingham 10K to raise money for Brake, so they can continue supporting others going through similar heartbreak.

Any support or donation would mean a huge amount to me, and it will help ensure that other families receive the same care and support that I have been so grateful for.
