My Story

I wouldn’t say I’ve ever enjoyed running, but I think that’s because previously I’ve rocked up to races without training, assuming my body can handle the miles. Turns out it can’t (well it can, but it hurts), especially as I’ve got older, and so this is a bucket-list goal to hit before I turn 30 in May! 🏃

This marathon represents self-discipline (something I’ve always struggled with) and a cause close to my personal and professional life. As an environmentalist, I have recently dedicated my skills in TV and video production, to producing content about environmental stories that aim to inspire people to change behaviours and be more environmentally conscious. 🌍

I am running 26.2 miles (my first marathon!) on 7th April 2024 to raise funds for the World Wide Fund for Nature. WWF is a wildlife conservation charity with a mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to protect habitats, animals, and ecosystems. 🌊

From restoring UK wildflower meadows (we’ve lost 97% of them since the 1930’s), to protecting the giant panda, WWF works with people in more than 100 countries to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. 🌲

I've been training for this since October 2023 and there's only a few weeks left until race day!

Thank YOU so much for supporting me on this challenge!
