WHY
After picking up running in 2020 during the pandemic as a way to keep busy, give me some goals, stay fit both physically and mentally, as well as raise money for charity, I have kept up with more and more challenges.
From my first marathon to my first ultramarathon, then my first 100km (and later second!) - I hope to keep challenging myself as long as I can whilst helping to raise awareness for good causes.
WHEN
My challenge this 2024 will be to run (at least) one marathon every month - with hopefully some in some more unique areas.

MORE
Running has been such an important part of my life for the past few years that I’ve come to understand the importance of it and I strongly believe it should be available to everyone - regardless of where you live or your gender.
The work that Free to Run does all over the world in difficult conflict zones is something that speaks to me as I combine my passion for running with travel to unusual and misunderstood places and I truly believe in and fits with my philosophy of fairness and equality.
I’m super excited to be running for Free to Run this year! Follow my journey on Strava and Instagram as I combine my two passions; travel and running and create awareness for this amazing cause.
