This May, I am running in the Oxford 10K Town and Gown race to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

For those who don't know me (the rest can confirm), whenever I would attempt any kind of exercise, it ended up with me in complete distress - I couldn't run 200 meters without stopping. Bored and unmotivated I couldn't find the reason to take care of my body, my health and to an extent, myself (20s naivety). 

Until I got covid and realised that our body is our most important ally, always doing its best to support us. And our main task should be to take care of ourselves and wake up every morning feeling grateful. Because health is a privilege, a strong body is a privilege and neither should be taken for granted. No matter how young or how old we are.

In January 2022, I decided to participate in the 10K Town and Gown race, highly motivated by its cause: support Muscular Dystrophy UK. With a strong training plan and good motivation, my training journey has already started (currently in week 5: 7K running without stopping).

Please donate to support Muscular Dystrophy UK through my journey.
