In June I'm running the iconic Blaydon Races for a worthy charity.

In 2016, my dad suffered a heart attack which gave the full family a huge shock. Those who know my dad know he is (or at least was up until this year‍) an avid runner, to the point of willingly running ultra marathons for fun, my main point of inspiration was him asking if he could run his ultra marathon that weekend whilst sat in hospital! Since i’ve got my place for this race he’s unintentionally become my trainer and is dragging through this training and let’s be real if he can do it then i definitely should be able to!

Those who know me, know I am anything but a runner so this is a massive challenge for myself to even consider, but running for this cause means I really can’t give up.

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