Miles for a Brighter Future: A mum on a mission

Story

I’m a full-time working mum to 3 year old twin boys, and I decided to challenge myself to run a mile every day to improve my fitness while raising money for an amazing cause. I’m supporting YMCA Thames Gateway, who do incredible work helping young people at risk of homelessness and creating safe spaces where they can learn, develop, and feel supported. Any donation, big or small, will help motivate me to keep going and support young people who really need it. Thank you for your kindness and encouragement!
