I must be mad doing this again!

As you probably already know, I am not a natural runner, and truth be told I actively dislike it... I find it boring (am I allowed to say that?!) however I am going to give it another go this year, and get my running shoes out again in an effort to raise lots of money for Gifted Women - Woollcombe Yonge Solicitor's charity of the year.

Based at Mutley Baptist Church in Plymouth, Gifted Women support local women who are rebuilding their lives after facing homelessness, problematic substance use or the justice system. The aim is to help women back into employment, but this takes time, trust and an incredible team who nurture and support over 18 months in their Flourish programme. The women I have met who have been through this process are simply inspirational, and have turned their lives around with the help of Gifted Women. I want to do my bit to help.

So please help me by donating - even a couple of pounds - your donations not matter how big or small will absolutely help me to get round the 10k course, and up the final hill to the Hoe! And more importantly your donations will go a long way to help a small charity in Plymouth like Gifted Women.

Any donation you make will go directly to Gifted Women.
