Thank you once again for visiting my JustGiving Page! There was no way I could hang up my trainers for too long and now the legs have fully recovered from London I'm back on the road and I'm taking part in 4 special events over the next few months to keep the running dream alive, challenge my fitness and raise some funds for a charity that means so much to me.  

The British 10K London: 12th July - Back to where it all began I'll be aiming to smash my 10K time and relive all those amazing Marathon memories whilst running in the city I love. 

5x5 Diamond Relay Olympic Park: 27th July - Taking on the challenge to smash my 5K on the tracks of all tracks! London 2012 was the inspiration behind so much of what sport has achieved in recent years. Running in the Olympic Stadium is a dream come true and doing it with my team is just the icing on the cake!

Great Eastern Run: 11th October - It's not all a walk in the park. Back to my routes I'll be stepping up a gear and be looking to get my half marathon PB on my home turf. Where I first fell in love with sport, and most importantly - the grandparents can come and watch!

Silverstone Half: 13th March - The place where it all began. My first experience of charity running events and one of the homes British sport. I'll be aiming for my best time yet and who knows, it could be a training run in the fight to London/Paris 2016. Watch this space. 

So....I'm making my 35.5 miles of racing count and will be dedicating every training run and race to the Youth Sport Trust.

The Youth Sport Trust is an independent charity devoted to changing young people's lives through sport. Established in 1994, they are passionate about helping all young people to achieve their full potential in life by delivering high quality physical education and sport opportunities.

They work to:

• give every child a sporting start in life through high quality PE and sport in primary schools;
• ensure all young people have a sporting chance by developing opportunities for those with special educational needs and disabilities; and
• support all young people to achieve their sporting best in school and their personal best in life.

I started my working life at the Trust, and the experience I had in that first 9 months shaped who I am today. Now I get the chance to give back every day and shape the way we inspire and develop the  competitors and leaders of tomorrow. Sport empowers young people and your donations will go to a great cause to ensure we can inspire a generation to reach their potential. 

You know me - I love a challenge!
