I have been running regularly for around 8 years and looking back the difference it has made to my life and health has been enormous. I have achieved more than I ever thought possible and met so many amazing people along the way. I believe that running, and the community it fosters, can help people in huge variety of ways and can play a pivotal role in today’s often disconnected world. I am a member of Fleet & Crookham Athletics Club and part of the organising committee of our Spring half marathon. I have recently qualified as a UK Athletics Leader in Running Fitness and been appointed Challenge Ambassador for Lepra, a charity I have been involved with for most of my life.
