This year I had a totally random and wild idea: to run 42 kilometers at my 42nd. A couple of friends were already signed up for the Malaga Marathon, so I just jumped in impulsively. Sounded like fun - right? Well, excitement quickly turned into a challenge once training started in September. Every kilometer I ran, I kept asking myself, “Why did I do this to myself?!”

Now, with just 5 days to go, my motivation is tanking. Anxiety, worries and doubts have crept in, and honestly, I need a little extra push. That’s why I’m here, reaching out not just for me, but for three amazing charities that mean a lot to my family and me. I want to turn this crazy idea into something really meaningful.

All donations will be split equally between:

Cleft Lip & Palate Association, UK

https://www.clapa.com/

The Smallest Things, UK

https://www.thesmallestthings.org/

Street Cats Rescue in Conil, Spain

https://streetcats-rescue.org/

Please help fuel my legs and lift my spirits! Together, we can make this marathon bigger than just a race.

Thanks for believing in me at 42!
