My name is Zara, and I will be running my first event raising funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK. I got into running a couple of years ago, mostly going for easy runs in my spare time. I am a research student, and for years I have been focussed on neurological diseases. Last year, I moved from London to Oxford to begin a PhD in pathology. Nowadays, between my PhD, rowing, and everything else, I find time to run whenever I can and I find I have been enjoying it more and more. This is a cause that is quite close to my heart, so it seems fitting that my first running event is in aid of it. If you can spare any amount to support me in fundraising for this amazing cause, I would really appreciate it!
