I'm a Health & Wellness Coach and a mother of 4. We're world travellers, having lived for 11 years in a remote part of Russia working on Bible Translation, and now we're back home here in beautiful Bournemouth.
I love running and have run several half-marathons but never a full marathon. It's always been a dream goal for me to complete the London Marathon, but the long hours of training have always put me off because of my family commitments. But now that my kids are all at school, this seemed like the year to do it!
I'm very excited to be able to combine my love of running with my passion for world mission. Having taken part in various projects in Peru, Mexico, Italy and Russia over the years, I've seen first-hand the needs of children who don't have access to the same opportunities that we do here in the UK.
My family and I have been long-term supporters of the work of Compassion, and I feel so privileged to be able to help fundraise for such a worthy cause. Knowing that I'm able to play my small part in this through your generous donations is going to really spur me on in my training and on the day itself!
Please do consider sponsoring me, whatever you can manage, and supporting the amazing work of Compassion in this way. Thank you so much in advance!
