Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After running the Manchester Marathon last year, the photos and videos said it all… the pain, the exhaustion — I swore I’d never do it again 😅

But somehow, I got a place in the London Marathon ballot — and at 57, here I go again 🏃‍♀️

This time it’s not just about getting round. I’m running to raise money for swimmers with Down syndrome, helping provide inclusive sessions, specialist coaching, and opportunities that give real purpose, confidence, and joy in the water. As well as supporting them to compete at national and international level. 💙

Every tough training run (and there are plenty!) reminds me why I’m doing this.

If you can support — whether by donating or sharing — it really would mean so much. Let’s turn the pain into something positive
