In August 2026 I'll be turning 40, and in a moment of madness decided that I wanted to run a marathon before I'm 40

Having watched friends run marathons over the last couple of years, its made me realise that anyone can run a marathon if your determined to do so, and prepared to put in the training- you don't need to be a super athlete,

I also want to show my little boy that if you put your mind to something, than anything is possible, so no pressure!!

II'l be running the marathon to raise funds for Tameside & Glossop IC NHSFT, we support our staff, patients and their families who are receiving care from Tameside Hospital and in our community settings.

Your support helps us to enhance patient and staff experience across our sites, whilst making a meaningful difference to our local community. By supporting us, you are helping to provide care packages, run wellbeing support initiatives, as well as funding extra, new and exciting equipment. You are truly making a lasting impact in Tameside and Glossop.
