Couch to.. 10 miles!?

Tuesday 28th Jul

Back in January, I could barely run for a minute without feeling like I was dying. Then after alot of encouragement I signed up for Couch to 5K, against all odds caught the running bug and now I've somehow talked myself into the Great South Run. Ten miles. On purpose.

I'm running for Parkinson's UK because it's a cause close to mine and my family's heart and because "just a 5K" clearly wasn't enough of a challenge for me.

 Every step (and there will be a lot of them) is for the people living with Parkinson's and the families who support them.

If you can spare a few quid, I'd be so grateful  and it'll definitely help me stay accountable.

Can't back out if people have sponsored you!!

🏃‍♀️💙
