In your own words, tell us about your sporting achievement or upcoming challenge.
On 6 April 2025 I am running my first Brighton Marathon. I have always been a keen runner and have competed in many events and races, as it is such a passion of mine!
This time, I am raising money for a charity very close to my heart who saved my life when I was a baby: the Rockinghorse Children's Charity. This Brighton-based charity supports sick and disabled children across Sussex. Without them, I wouldn't be here today!
This will be my second time raising money for Rockinghorse, and any donations would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to put myself through the challenge of those 26.2 miles. Bring it on!!
What would you say to someone to inspire them to follow in your sporty footsteps?
Embrace the challenge - your mind is stronger than you think.
