Hi, I’m Lucy.

I work as a practice nurse at Brannam Medical Centre in Barnstaple.

I have enjoyed running for about 8 years and completed a few marathons in that time.

In September last year I thought I could use my hobby to help those less fortunate than myself. I knew it needed to be something really challenging so I entered a 100 mile race

This would give me 8 months to get in shape.

Putting in the miles through the winter was tough, especially while juggling work and family commitments.

But I got through, completing a 40 mile night run and just recently completing my longest training run of 50 miles.

This training schedule and the event itself, I’m sure, are the hardest thing I’ve physically or mentally been faced with. However this pales into insignificance compared to the struggle of people going through Chemotherapy or the heartache for families with critically ill children.

This is why I decided I would like to raise some money for the two incredible local charities that Brannam’s have decided to support this year.

If you are able to sponsor me, no matter how small I would be incredibly grateful. It will be hugely appreciated by the charities and may just spur me on to keep putting one foot in front of the other when the going gets tough.

Thank you for taking the time to read this x
