Maria’s fundraising for Cancer Research & Women’s Aid

Hello!

I’m running the Bristol 10k on the 11th May!

Been on a bit of a running journey since January. I started running for my mental health to help get me out of the blocks & blues in 2025. Managed to do the Couch to 5k with the Portishead Running Club and graduated with an 5k park run in March!

I’d like to say it’s getting easier/more enjoyable but truth be told, it’s a fair aul slog! I’m training hard to go the distance in May and I would greatly appreciate all the support I can get!

Running to raise awareness for Woman’s Aid, a charity working to end domestic abuse & all forms of violence against women.

I’m also running in memory of a friend and powerhouse Síle Beattie who sadly died of cancer far far too young.

All donations will be split equally between the two charities.

Many thanks

Maria
