My Story

Oh heck...... what have I done?

Well in 2025 I ran my first big event since losing over 10 stone in weight - I ran the Manchester 10K and I loved it. So I decided on the back of my excitement from that race to push myself a little further..... so what did I do ??

I ENTERED THE HALF MARATHON!!!! Eek! 

For as long I can remember my mum and late step-father have actively supported and fundraised for the British Heart Foundation. So when it came to finding a different charity for this run - who else could I chose! Alongside this it is also the chosen charity for Yorkshire Street Medical Centre in Burnley where I work.

As a nurse I have used their many resources and support tools for my patients and I know they have supported many people with heart problems. 

As I will put my HEART and soul in to preparing for this run I would really appreciate any support / sponsorship you can give me. 

I will keep you updated how my training goes and there may be a couple of practice 10K runs in between now and then to keep me motivated. 

wish me luck and here goes nothing ......
