My Story

 Hi everyone!

Running has always been a part of my journey, but this time, I’m lacing up for something much bigger. On April 27, 2025, I’ll be running a marathon not just for myself, but for a cause close to my heart: helping  World Villages for Children UK.  WVC supports the education programmes of the Sisters of Mary Schools worldwide.  

This cause is deeply personal to me. As someone who has seen firsthand how transformative education can be, I believe that every child deserves a fair chance—no matter where they come from or the challenges they face.

Let’s make April 27 a day to remember—for the children and for all of us striving for a better future. 💛
