Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m taking on the challenge of running two marathons within six months to support two charities. I’ll be running the Leeds Marathon on Sunday 10 May, followed by the Yorkshire Marathon on Sunday 18 October, raising funds for Saint Michael’s Hospice and Mind - both closely connected to my workplace, Rudding Park. After several months of training, I’m fully committed and excited to push myself through both events while supporting two important causes.
