I'm Running to Paris

That's right - I'm part of a team attempting to run from London to Paris in just 4 days. Wish us luck, but more importantly, if you feel you're able to, please donate. Your donation will support Parkinson's UK and we really appreciate your support.

Five mums. Fifteen children left at home. One huge challenge.

We’re running from London to Paris. Navigating our way through the French countryside to each cover on average a half marathon every day for four consecutive days, camping out at night. 

We've never done anything like this before and, to be completely honest, we’re more than a little terrified. But sometimes the most meaningful things happen when you step well outside your comfort zone.

We’ve come together, through friendship, and  a shared passion for raising money for an incredible charity that means so much to us.

As a group, we’re a real mix:  A doctor, an accountant, a teacher, a physio turned dairy farmer, and a physiologist who works closely with people living with Parkinson’s. 

Different lives, different skills—but one collective goal.

This challenge is about proving to ourselves (and to our children) that ordinary women can do extraordinary things when they support one another and in doing so raising money to help those affected by Parkinson's.

All of your donation goes to Parkinson's UK. 

We hope to do everyone proud and make it all the way to Paris—one step, one mile, one deep breath at a time - wish us luck. I frankly think we will need it:)

If you’re able to support us, we’d be so grateful. Every donation helps and makes this daunting journey worthwhile for an amazing cause. Thank you so much for being part of our story 💛
