I have never really been a ‘runner’ but after a good friend asked me to support her, I found myself running my first ever 10k. I had a few more kilometres in me so I started looking at what else I could push myself to do.
Before I knew it, I was signed up to The Winchester Half Marathon. As a member of the team, I have been privileged to see the powerful, positive impact that spending time outdoors has on mental health and wellbeing. This is why I wanted to raise funds for the Outdoor Learning Centre.
My top fundraising tips are to stay motivated. Share the link to your fundraising page, especially around payday, and make sure people can donate both online and in cash. Having support from friends and family also really helped me. I was able to share tips, advice, and support with the colleagues who were also taking part, and my family and friends were very keen to see my progress and were my biggest cheerleaders on the day!
