My Story…

Hello all!!


This year I turned 30, and couldn't image a better way to celebrate then running my first half marathon! Not only will I be running to honour my amazing mother Denise Ransford (who ran her first marathon at 50 - seen in attached image), but will also be running for a great cause as well. NEED2 Suicide Prevention Education & Support is an amazing organisation and they need our support more then ever (see mission statement below). Our mental health is extremely important, especially when going through a pandemic. I turned to running to help with my own mental health during this whole COVID-19 nightmare. Running SAVED my mental health, and is another reason to celebrate with this run!! All donations will be going to NEED2 Suicide Prevention Education & Support, and if you are not able to donate at this time I hope to have your support and cheers as I attempt this run :)
