Hi! I’m Nicole, this October, I’m lacing up my trainers and taking on the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for The Burnt Chef Project, a cause incredibly close to my heart.

The hospitality industry is full of passion, pressure, and long hours, and while we serve up care on every plate, it’s easy to forget to care for ourselves. The Burnt Chef Project is tackling the mental health crisis in hospitality head-on, offering vital support, training, and awareness to help change the culture for the better.

I’m running not just for the challenge (though my calves might protest), but to shine a light on the need for open conversations, compassion, and mental wellness in kitchens everywhere. I’ve set myself a goal to raise £500, and every pound will go directly towards helping hospitality professionals feel seen, heard, and supported.

If you’d like to support the cause and maybe help me make it over the finish line with a smile. I’d be so grateful for any donations, shares, or even a cheer from the sidelines. Let’s cook up some change, one mile at a time!
