I’m running the Robin Hood Half Marathon in September in aid of IMARA, a Nottinghamshire children’s charity.

IMARA provide incredibly important support to children and young people affected by domestic and sexual abuse.

When I found out about IMARA’s incredible work and that they needed help fundraising, I offered to lace up my trainers and lend my support - but now I need your help, because I have lost my running mojo!

I have had a few months off running due to various health issues, so the thought of training for a 13.1 mile race has become a daunting prospect, especially up and down Nottingham’s hills!

I’ve committed to a fundraising target of £200, but I’m confident with your help we can better it!

I’m asking folks for small donations, the same as the price of a pint or a cup of coffee, every donation will make a difference.

I am starting from scratch, with no fitness whatsoever, and have just one month to get in shape and raise as much money as I can for this amazing local charity.

Please help! Let’s do this!!
