My target 100 kms

End of Week 1

When I saw the advert on Facebook for this challenge I initially completely disregarded it. I haven’t been running regularly for a couple of years however it kept popping up on my feed and I was in need of something to get me exercising again and keep me motivated. After some encouragement (and a few incredulous looks) I decided to sign up which seemed like a great idea in August. Crisp autumnal morning runs are the best right?! And now we’re in the middle of a 30 degree heatwave. Having said that I’m finding the running manageable and almost but not quite enjoyable. I’ve been doing early runs which is great as I know it’s done and out of the way but the early alarm is testing me daily!! Anyway, I’m a quarter of the way through and the next 75k feel achievable. Just want to keep on smashing those miles and live up to the promise I’ve made to all you lovely donators! Thanks for your support :) x

I’m running 100K in September for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to run 100 kilometres this September to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs. 

And with every kilometre I run, I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
