My story
I started running in 2013 when I was looking for a new challenge. I went from complete beginner to marathon runner in just six months. Since then, I’ve completed over 15 marathons, and every race has taught me something new about perseverance and self-belief. My goal is to inspire women to embrace challenges and give things a go, because you might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
