Am I disappointed with my time? Absolutely.
There were plenty of setbacks leading up to todayâs event & a few more during the run itself. It certainly wasnât the race I had planned or hoped for.
But thatâs life. Things donât always go to plan. Sometimes youâve just got to adapt, keep going & finish what you started.
And while Iâm disappointed with my result, thereâs something much bigger that Iâm incredibly proud of.
Together, we raised $2,199 for ovarian cancer research! đ©”
We exceeded our fundraising target, & I genuinely cannot thank everyone enough who donated, shared my fundraising page or supported me along the way.
This cause is incredibly close to my heart & my family, and knowing that weâve contributed towards research that could make a difference to women and families affected by ovarian cancer means more to me than any finishing time.
A special thank you to Crystal for coming along for the weekend, helping me prepare & being there to support me. And to Loz, Dad & of course my stepmum, Lyn. My reason whyđ©”
The fundraising page is still open if youâd like to contribute. Every donation counts, no matter how big or small.

Not the race I wanted, but absolutely a cause worth running for. đ€
