There’s a few reasons why I’ll be running for the Centre (apart from the fact it’s an AMAZING cause supporting women across Nottingham).
2027 will be 10 years since my wonderful Nan passed away, a woman who continues to inspire me everyday. She was a force to be reckoned with and highly competitive - any lack of effort on sports day was always the topic of conversation on the walk home from school! She was a compassionate woman who gave so so much to the local community, even as her health was deteriorating. I know that her tenacity (as it always does) will be pushing me throughout. Race day also happens to be my mum’s birthday, so I’ll be running the marathon in honour of her too. 💖
Why the Centre
Nottingham Women’s Centre gives women across Nottingham a safe, inclusive space to come together, feel empowered and find a safe haven when they need it. Its support includes counselling, feminist trauma-informed therapy, advice and community projects. Last year the Centre opened its doors to women 17,000 times, up from 11,000 the year before. As living costs rise, places like this are needed now more than ever.
Every donation genuinely makes a huge difference.
Sponsor a mile 💜
Sponsor a mile in honour of a woman who inspires you. I’ll carry her name with me on race day, and when the miles get tough, she’ll be the one getting me to the finish.
To claim a mile: add the mile number and her name in the donation message :)
