Story

I’m so excited to be running the Berlin Marathon on 21st September 🇩🇪🏃🏽‍♀️🤩

If you’d told me a year ago I’d be running a marathon, I’d have laughed 😅 — But last year, I decided to push my comfort zone and set myself a huge fitness goal. At the same time, I wanted to make a positive difference and give back. Combining the two feels incredible 💜

Training has been tough — no shortcuts, early mornings, late nights, sore legs, and a lot of determination. But the cause I’m running for makes every step worth it.

I’m proud to once again be supporting WIL (Women in Leadership) — a female-led, grassroots charity based in Uganda 🇺🇬. Their amazing work focuses on empowering women and girls, giving them the tools, education, and knowledge to claim their rights to safety, health, and education. They work across the Busoga region in Eastern Uganda, transforming communities from the ground up.

So far, WIL has delivered over 12,000 workshops on

-Women’s health

-Providing rural women with access to informal education

-Equipping women with skills to create sustainable incomes

Every donation, no matter how small, helps WIL change lives and create brighter futures. Your support means the world to me — and to the women and girls whose lives will be transformed.

Please donate if you can, and help me make every mile count. ❤️
