My Story

When the Menopause Research and Education Charity contacted me to see if I would like to run the London Marathon for them I said 'No, thank you'. But then I had a word with myself and decided to embrace the opportunity. 

I have done one marathon before - London 2014. I was pre-menopausal, ran alone and felt pretty invincible, albeit it was a tough challenge. 12 years later I am wildly perimenopusal, need a friend to get through this and am far from invincible. But as a Menopause Specialist, I am deeply passionate about shouting from the rooftops about the need for better awareness, research and education about menopause. So if I have to break my body to do so, then I will. 

I will be running with my buddy, Lisa, who is a personal trainer for menopausal women. She will be running for Mind. The link between mental health and menopause is intense but rarely acknowledged and we will aim to help change that on our training and fundraising journey.
