From Wreck to Resilience: Running the World in Two Halves
From Wreck to Resilience: Running the World in Two Halves for two amazing charities
Whangarei, Northland
In 2018, a serious car accident in NZ left my body broken. My beautiful partner died and my children were injured and traumatised far from home.
The emergency services, hospital staff, friends, family and complete strangers took great care of us all.
Recovery has taken years but in 2024 I managed to row a marathon, but even then running 6 steps was so painful.
But thanks to the love and support from 2 nations, and hours of continued training I feel strong and ready for my next challenge.
In 2026, I plan to run 1 marathon in two half's, 1 half in England and the other in New Zealand to raise funds for the air ambulance services that save lives every day in both countries.
Whilst we didnt use this vital service that awful day I fully appreciate the lifesaving work they do. For days I laid in hospital listening to the helicopter bringing more casualties to safety.
Support my journey and donate to keep these vital services flying.
Every step matters.
Thank you ❤️
Latest update
First half completed 18 October 2026
In august I completed the first half of my marathon challenge. It wasnt easy for me at all, it took place in Bath on a hot summers day.
But surrounded by love and support I managed to get round the course.
I'm now 2 weeks away from the final half and can't wait to get started, even if I am going to be a bit jet lagged.
I've got 1.5 weeks of training left before I leave the UK.
Thank you to everyone who's sponsored me so far!
