Hampton Court Half Marathon

Although I enjoyed running throughout my school years, I never ever expected to be run half a marathon! After lots and lots of persuasion from my older sister, I eventually signed up! I saw the challenge as a personal one, whilst supporting the work of two charities close to my heart, one of which was danceaid.

So why danceaid?

Danceaid is a fantastic charity capturing the energy of dance to transform the lives of vulnerable children both here in the UK and beyond. As an individual who is passionate about dance, I think it is important we enhance opportunities to participate in dance, and what better way to do it then raise money for a good cause all at the same time. I chose danceaid as one of my chosen charities to increase the knowledge of their work amongst my dance networks.

How was it?

Congratulations to Rachel on completing the Half-Marathon in 2hrs 22mins!

Training in winter was hard and often meant having to brave rubbish weather and pushing past my own fatigue levels. However I am pleased to say I completed my first ever half-marathon in 02:22:21. Thanks to everyone that kindly donated, not only did I manage to raise my target, but I exceeded it.

You guys did me proud!
