I decided on the 10k run after having major surgery in January this year. I needed a goal to get me moving again. I have had the support of a local personal trainer and gym. They have supported me through the rehab that was required. I would like to complete the 10k in 1hour. My practice runs are currently a 63 mins. I would be thrilled if you could support my goal and the charitable organisation I will donate all the money to.

I have been a cooking mentor with Bags of Taste for over a year. Being able to guide people in cooking healthy food and hear their feedback about the wider impact it has on their lives has been rewarding for me. I have heard of how it helped them manage their household budgets, improve their health and changed their job and career options. All this through the donation of food and small equipment and supported by a group of cooking mentors.

In order that more people can benefit, Bags of Taste needs continued donations. I will be giving all donations to them to enable them to continue supporting individuals and families.
