Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run With Purpose (RWP) have decided to team up with Positive Youth Foundation (PYF) this year and support the fantastic group, with a lot of shared values and belief in the work they do and the support they offer.

PYF do incredible work supporting young people in our city – giving them safe spaces, mentoring, education, and opportunities to grow and thrive. They really do change lives, and it feels special to be able to run for such a brilliant cause. Take a look at their site.

As such, through RWP I will be taking on multiple challenges over the coming months.

Firstly, I along with about 70+ other RWP members, will be running a half marathon on Marrakech in January (some members will be taking on the gruelling 26 miles of a full marathon.

Followed in April, by running the TCS London Marathon 2026 with 19 others from Run With Purpose (RWP). We’ll be running it together as a team, raising money for the Positive Youth Foundation (PYF) in Coventry.

Joining RWP has honestly been one of the best things I’ve ever done and has given a lot to me in the short space of time I have been part of it, not just in fitness, but through the connection and support of the group , I have grown so much.

Everyone in the group makes it what it is, and I feel a part of something bigger - something important and something very special.

In the words of Ry, our founder: “Everyone can do hard things – and you don’t even know it!”

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean so much to me (and the rest of the team!) and will go a long way in helping young people in Coventry.

Thank you for all your support ❤️
