A propos de moi
I was born and raised in the UK, In 2011 I moved to Dubai and lived there for 10 years, this is where I first started my running journey and also had the privilege of joining the ASICS Frontrunner team in 2019.
I then made the drastic switch from desert to snow in November 2021 and was welcomed into the Austrian team with open arms.
My running journey started in 2013 after my younger brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour, It became my way of coping and I decided I would run a marathon to raise money and awareness for brain tumour research, I absolutely hated it and said I would never run EVER again!
(but we all know how that story goes)
12 marathons and 2 ultra's later you could definitely say I'm addicted!
Running is my therapy, it helps me mentally to continue to navigate my way through grief, but has also taught me that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
Running has taken me all over the world, I have ran some incredible races and met wonderful people. In fact I met most of my closest friends through running, it really is a magical sport.
