Run2Paris 2024

I'm fundraising for...

...the Blister Sisters!

Hi! I'm SO happy you're here. The Blister Sisters & I are super excited for this route; Run2Paris has us motivated to keep up with our training and we're all looking forward to spending 4 days solidly doing the sport we are so passionate about.

I started running longer and longer distances during the Covid lockdowns in London, despite the fact I couldn't stray over a mile from my flat. I lived near a running track and spent my evenings running two miles, with a long break in between. Then I started adding laps to each half, and the break got smaller and smaller. When we were allowed, I started running on the canal, simply going out half as far as I could manage and turning back, eventually pushing the midpoint of my run further and further out. 

With Mikaela, I got into trail running, and we've seen some amazing scenery (and pubs) as we ventured further outside of London. Running has gotten me to the healthiest state I've ever been in, improved my focus on my emotional well-being, and shown me so much of the incredible city and surrounding countryside that I never would have otherwise seen.

By supporting us, you also support two excellent charities: Parkinson's UK, which funds research and patient + family support, and SSAFA, which supports individual veteran + family with physical and emotional care after completing service. Both charities are nationally accredited and you can find out more here:

My Updates

The journey of 225 miles begins with you sending us 10£ :)

Did you know the Blister Sisters are all Women in STEM (and law)? The girls & I spent about 30 minutes trying to order pizza: the combination of pizza circumferences and prices was a subject of much discussion and because Mikaela somehow lives without a protractor in her kitchen, we ended up with a pizza calculator to figure out how much area we were actually getting with each, dividing by the price. The decision ended up being that we needed to find a new place to order from, because they were clearly ripping us off.

So with the authority of overthinking statisticians, we can say that the more people & money that are sent our way, the more people & money we receive :)
