Sunday 6th Apr
Not so long ago, in the autumn of 2023, I announced that I would never run a marathon again. I had run my first marathon in Amsterdam and, though I enjoyed it for the most part, I did not achieve the time I had been aiming for.  Here we are in 2025 and I have convinced myself it would be a good idea to run a second marathon. I want to achieve a better time for myself, but just to add a little more pressure, I also want to raise money for an important charity in the process. 

Over the coming months I will be building up the distances and preparing for participation in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon. Along the way I will also be raising money for Mental Health UK. Running is one of the ways I try to look after my mental health so it makes sense to me to be using the opportunity provide valuable support to one of the UKs main mental health charities. 

I’ll do my best to document the process of training for Dublin in October, including running the Great North Run in September. 

I am aiming to raise more than £50 for every mile I will be running. Your support is so appreciated and will help make a difference for so many people. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
