I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2011. Since being diagnosed, I’ve had 2 children. I’ve lost 3.5 stone after the first one and 4.5 stone after the second.


I hadn’t run since school but started running last year over 20 years later. Then just over a year later in May this year, I ran my first half marathon. I have now signed up for three more in the last week, Bath in October 2023, then Weston Super Mare in March 2024, and Bristol in May 2024. I will be raising money for the BTF in the Bristol Half Marathon as hypothyroidism is something I have lived with for a long time.
