Story

Hi everyone!

This year, my husband Scott and I are taking on a huge challenge – the Essar Chester Half Marathon. We're raising money for Soul Kitchen Chester & Ellesmere Port.

For anyone who knows me, you’ll know I’ve never run more than 5km (and even that was a struggle!), so 13 miles is a massive step up for both of us. We’re definitely not natural runners, this will take a lot of training, determination, and encouragement from friends, family and each other!

We’ve chosen to support Soul Kitchen because of the incredible work they do supporting people experiencing homelessness, poverty, and isolation in our local communities. Their dedication to providing hot meals, emotional support, and a sense of belonging is something we admire, and we want to do our bit to help them keep going.

Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference!💙

Thank you so much for your support! 🏃‍♀️🏃
