I am running the London Marathon for the third time this year. I want to be clear that I am not doing it because it’s easy, but I am doing it because it is hard. Sometimes challenges in life can help us to grow in ways we never imagined and by raising funds for an organisation that seeks to reach out to women who are under represented in this sport I hope to be able to help others to find the same joy and challenge that I find in my running. It’s hard to show up when you feel like you don’t belong, but when the health benefits, both physical and mental, can change a life it’s worth the discomfort of being seen.
