In Maya's words
I started running in lockdown to get out of the flat. Eighteen months ago I couldn't finish a parkrun without walking. In April I'm lining up for my first marathon.
I'm a nursing student, so the entry fee alone was a week of food. Every pound here goes on the boring stuff that gets you to a start line: shoes that aren't falling apart, a proper plan, and gels for the long Sundays.
What Maya's share pays for

A children's hospice appeal (example)
Charity money is never tied to the result. It goes through whether Maya flies or blows up at mile 20.
