I’m running my first marathon on July 12th — something I never thought I’d be able to do.

Over the past few years, I’ve lost 5 stone, completely transforming my health and mindset. What started as a personal goal has turned into a challenge to see just how far I can push myself.

Taking on a marathon feels like the perfect way to mark that journey — but I want it to mean more than just a personal achievement. That’s why I’m raising money, to give something back and make a difference while I do it.

Training hasn’t been easy, and race day will be even tougher, but knowing I’m running for a cause will keep me going.

Any support, whether it’s a donation or just encouragement, really means a lot. Thank you for being part of this with me.
