As most of you know I have been on a long journey with my treatment for scoliosis which has involved many hospital appointments and lots of surgery. Sport hasn't always been easy but it is a really important part of my life. In the last year I have been regularly participating in the local park run and decided I would like to challenge myself to complete a 10k. My parents and I have signed up for the Eastleigh 10k which is in March. I would like to use this as an opportunity to raise money for the youth club that I have been attending since I was 12.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Solent Youth Action and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Solent Youth Action: Solent Youth Action (SYA) is a youth provision charity, working with vulnerable and disengaged young people aged 10-25 with mental health issues, learning disabilities and difficulties, young carers, young offenders, and those at risk of harm.
