Hello friends!
It's been a busy few weeks of training but I'm very excited to share with you that I'm going to be running the Echo's Women's Mini Marathon right here in Cork in two weeks time! You might remember that I ran it last year to raise funds for West Cork Animal Welfare in memory of my beautiful doggy friend, Sam. Well together we raised a huge amount which went to helping lots of animals in need.
This year I'm doing it again but for another charity in memory of another beautiful soul who sadly left us this year. We lost our cat, Gus, to heart failure back in April and it was a traumatic experience, to say the least. When life deals you sh*tty cards it can be really hard to know what to do, but for me, running really helped me get out of my head for a bit.
That's why, this year, I'm raising funds for Cat Action Trust Cork, the charity which brought Gus and his sister, Niska, into our lives. They do such incredible work for cats in need all over the county. I'd be so grateful if you could donate even the price of a cup of coffee to this wonderful cause.
I've set myself the big, maybe overly ambitious goal, of beating last year's time by ten minutes... But don't worry, my coach, Forrest (pictured above), is a Paralympic gold medalist so I think I'll be fine π
