My Story

So fairly last minute, I gave myself about 14 weeks to train for this with a starting point of never running further than 5km in my life and just about running a 26:30 5km on my first run.

I'm running for Relate, who a great charity, whilst the charity is well known for its work with couples, nowadays over a third of its work is supporting young people through times of difficulty. Young people may be facing difficult times and need support to address issues such as parental separation, bullying, eating disorders, social media, relationships, low self esteem, loneliness at University and exam stress, to name just a few.

The counselling they provide offers a vital safe and confidential space where the young person can talk about difficult issues without feeling judged. All money donated will be used in providing free and subsidied counselling for young people.

Thank you for any support,

(Update: 18/03/24 - I've run about 300km and cycled about 450km in the last 80 days.

(Update 13/04/24 - I was ill for 2 weeks over Easter (massive ballache) run about 430km total now)
