Hi my name is Kerri Edge and I am running the Belfast Marathon on the 4th May. This is a huge challenge for me as a previous non-runner but I am determined to finish the race!

I am raising money for the Multi-Academy Trust in which I work. We are a family of schools in Medway, Kent with higher than average numbers of pupils with SEND, English as a second language and disadvantage. We have high ambition for all pupils so that they ‘Can be’ their very best! We have a wonderful team of dedicated staff who go above and beyond every day!

I want to raise £3,000 which will be spent on the health and wellbeing of both pupils and staff.

Starting to run at age 45 is tough but this has been a lifetime ambition! Wish me luck!
