Week 2 - Over Halfway There!

Hi everyone...

We’re officially at the halfway point of my 100km charity run for GOSH! 👏

It’s hard to believe I’ve already hit 60km, the journey so far has been both challenging and rewarding. I’ve made it through two weeks of running despite the cold weather and I’m feeling more motivated than ever!

This past week, the weather has definitely thrown some curveballs my way. The temperatures have been pretty chilly, which makes it a little harder to get out the door some days. But the good news is that I’ve learned to layer up and embrace the cold! It’s become part of the challenge, and honestly, there’s something invigorating about those crisp, fresh runs. Plus, nothing beats the feeling of being wrapped up in the warmth after finishing a chilly session! ❄️

I’m also happy to report that my pace is improving! At the start of the run, I wasn’t sure how my legs would hold up, but now I’m seeing my average pace per kilometre gradually decrease. It’s encouraging to see progress, and it’s motivating me to keep pushing further each week.

The best part of reaching 60km is realising I’m more than halfway to my goal. It’s a big milestone, and it’s making all the early mornings and cold runs totally worth it. I’ve been really enjoying the process, even when it gets tough, because I know it’s all for an amazing cause. GOSH does incredible work, and I’m so proud to be able to support them through this run.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported me so far 🩷 – your encouragement has kept me going on those days when it’s been hard to lace up my shoes.

I’ll keep you all posted as I keep moving toward that 100km finish line!

Thanks again for your support – let’s keep pushing forward! 💪

Week 1 Completed!

I’m running 100km in February for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to run 100km this February to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I run, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
