In May I’ll be running a half marathon to raise money for Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid.

This charity supports women and children in our local area who are affected by domestic abuse, helping provide safe accommodation, practical support and a pathway to rebuilding their lives.

This is a cause that has touched my life personally in the past. I’m now in a strong, healthy and supported place, and that’s something I never take for granted.

Running 13.1 miles will be a real challenge for me, but it feels important to use this opportunity to give something back and support other women in finding safety and support.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every contribution makes a difference.

Thank you for supporting me and this important cause
