Running the Cardiff Half

My Story

This weekend, I am lacing up my running shoes for the Cardiff Half Marathon!

I'm a seasoned runner with half marathons in Worcester, Reading, Bristol, Cardiff and Newport under my belt, as well as the London Marathon in 2019 and a solo Hereford marathon during the pandemic. I'm returning to racing after a recent injury - it was touch and go, but I'm now fit and ready to make the start line.

Running not only keeps me fit, but this time it’s also about raising awareness and funds for the incredible work done by The Royal National College for the Blind (RNC). I lead a weekly running club for RNC students at Hereford Leisure Centre and previously supported former student Freya Gavin in her training for the Manchester Marathon.

I am hoping to get back to regular running soon and rejoin my local running club, the Hereford Couriers.

If you’re able, please consider donating to this wonderful cause - every pound makes a difference.

Thank you!
