I'm fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research.

Last year a member of my family was given the devastating news that they had Pancreatic cancer. The treatment they have been receiving has generated positive results so far however some of the statistics surrounding Pancreatic Cancer are frightening & more needs to be done to improve this!

I'm raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK to help the researchers studying the disease and the medical professionals who care for those who have the disease and their families.

Follow my journey to get ready to complete the Newcastle under Lyme 10k race! 

As some of you are aware, I used to run competitively in my teenage years… So, after an extended  break (12ish years) I’ve decided to put my running shoes on whilst raising money for a cause dear to my family!

Please donate what you can… any amount can make a difference.

Thank you.

Please support my fundraising!

Newcastle 10k - DONE!

Well there you have it… Newcastle 10k done fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

The race itself went as well as it could considering the humid/sunny conditions by which, the sun decided it wanted to show itself at the bottom of black bank all the way to the top… to say I was dripping with sweat was an understatement!
After black bank it took a bit of time to get back into things which the downhill section kindly brought along to the wammy and then to the finish! Great morning out and happy to have got my first running race in 12 years done with plenty more planned! 

I’d like to thank everyone who has donated to my fundraiser! Absolutely Smashed the goal I set but every penny counts - So if you’d like to donate, you can still do this by clicking the donate button at the top of this page.

I’d like to also thank all those who have pushed me in training to compete in this race… Whether it be in a class at True Grit Training discussing a road run or gym session with me Daniel Dziubinski Tom Lloyd Alex Russell or even coming on a run with me - it has been greatly appreciated!

Hopefully i’ll get hold of more photos of me around the course & can add them to my Facebook post!

Thank you again for all your donations & support 💜

Training

Training is going well! Last week was two Hyrox classes and an 11km run which included black bank again 😫! 

This week I’ll be doing 3 runs starting at a shorter distance but at a quicker pace before increasing and trying to maintain the pace! 

Splits are getting quicker but need to get a little more consistency on the times rather the fluctuating from a low 6 minutes to a high 6 minutes! 

Training

Over the last week I’ve ran 25km completing my 1st 10k yesterday! It was tough and the last km felt like 10km itself but I got through it. It also included black bank which is part of the NUL 10k race! 

Training over the next week will consist of 2 Hyrox sessions at True Grit  and 2/3 runs! 

Training

Over the last week I have ran 22km and done 2 Hyrox classes at the Gym. Feeling like I can push a little more for longer which is good!

Thank you to my Sponsors
