I started running at the start of lockdown in 2020 when all the leisure centres closed.  My motivation for running was to support my mental health. 

Towards the end of that year I started running with The Sunnywood Project where I met a fabulous group of people who have become good friends.  I was then introduced to Clarence Runners at the start of 2024 and met some more fantastic people. Through the support at Clarence I was able to complete my run leader training.

I love supporting others to fall in love with running like I did and seeing them achieve things they never imagined they could.  From not being able to run 5k at the start of my running journey I have gone on to run marathons and ultra marathons. If I can do it anyone can!
