I have been proud to work with Thrombosis UK for a number of years and when they invited me to be part of the #StepUpToStopClots initiative, I jumped at the chance. Almost literally.
I’ve always been active. I enjoyed playing tennis when I was younger, before taking up running at University. I’ve competed in various events from 10K’s to Marathons and the odd Triathlon thrown in here and there.
Now, like a lot of people, I am time pressured. I have a full-time job, a fiancé (who also works full-time) and two kids at school age. But no excuses, being active is fundamentally important to all of our lives.
So how do I fit it in?
My aim is to complete a series of challenges, not only personally for me, but also involving my family. I want to raise awareness of this great cause along the way, through a series of sports based fundraising activities.
