My Story

Having worked for the YMCA for 9 years, I've seen and been a part of the amazing work they do for the communities, from the amazing, unforgettable gym members in Nottingham to the young people and families that use the Community & Activity Village in Newark.

I created a much loved Running Club from our gym which saw dozens of people participate in countless 5/10ks, half marathons, marathons, ultras, OCRs and even a 24 hour race (Equinox24).

Despite coaching several people to run marathons, I've never actually ran a 26.2 myself. London was the one that I wanted to do and if I couldn't get a place, I wasn't going to run any other.

Well, now I've got my place! And I'm proud to be raising money for an organisation that does so much, for so many. The money raised will go towards supporting young people and families and people unable to put a roof over their head.

Please help to support the cause (and me!) by donating whatever you can and each donation will help me get over the finish line :)
