The final week...

Heading into the final few days of the MyMarathon challenge, I wanted to add my 'why?' I am not the worlds greatest blogger, hence why it has taken almost the entire month to write my first (...and probably last...!!) blog! 😆🤦‍♀️

My goal has changed many times over the course of the challenge but my final aim is to run at least 200km for this amazing cause.

My twin sister was born with a congenital heart defect which she still deals with today. She is my absolute inspiration and true hero! This lovely girl is an Ultra Marathon runner, a Marathon runner, a Mammographer and, most importantly, a truely awesome mother! 

Her running journey inspired me to start my own running journey because I thought 'if Sam can do this, then why am I sat on my butt not trying to do this!?'. 

So, here we are! 3 years down the line, we have our running routine... or what we call 'therapy'!! Parkrun is our home every Saturday morning where we will always run 'Parkrun plus a bit extra' whilst debriefing the week. Last week saw us celebrate our milestones, me donning the 100 Parkruns cape and Sam her 50 Parkrun cape! This was a true celebration, affirming the realisation that getting out and excercising is not only good heart health but also good for the soul!

So...I am now an Ultra Marathon runner, a Marathon runner and a Mammographer! All thanks to this wonderful soul! She has supported me throughout...the true highlight was her being able to give me my finishers medal for the UTMB Tarawera Ultra Marathon in February! 

This month of running has been an absolute joy! It's allowed me to reflect and process the things life throws at us. Whilst I have completed this challenge as part of a team, I've embraced it as an individual and used it as motivation for my next challenge. Ultimate goal for this year is the Queenstown Marathon but up next for me is the Bridge to Bridge Ultra in Christchurch in a couple of weeks time.

....my sister has created a monster in me...!! And I love it! ❤️ 😆💪

Support my challenge to save Kiwi hearts

This May, I’m taking part in MyMarathon to raise funds for heart research that will help save lives.

Every 90 minutes, a person dies of heart disease.

Heart disease is the single biggest killer in New Zealand, and I want to do something to support the thousands of Kiwis whose lives are impacted by this disease every single day.

Please make a donation to support my challenge and help save Kiwi hearts.

Together, we can win the race against heart disease.

Thank you!
