Hello!

So in July 2018 I was pretty unfit and unhappy but for some reason I decided to give running another go. Having never "stuck" before, something clicked this time and I found myself with a strange new addiction, and would often be found using my lunch break to run along the canal and back. 18 months later, I find myself still addicted to running, having completed 10ks/half marathon/marathon, but also 4 stone lighter and much healthier and happier. 

Running along our canals was a huge part of this, as running gave me the physical and mental boost I needed, and the tranquilty of our waterways was a great environment for this, whether it was runnning the length of the Gloucester-Sharpness in pouring rain or suffering through the Hatton lock flight.

I want to make sure that more people are able to use this great resource as a way to get fitter/happier/healthier, and so that's why I'm raising money for the Canal and River Trust, to preserve and maintain our waterways for everyone else who will benefit from the amazing places they are.
