NHS comms at Pennine Care NHS - mental health, learning disabilities and autism in Greater Manchester. Love running (London 🇬🇧 and Tromso 🇳🇴 Marathon in 2025), netball, dogs (of course) and the great outdoors.

In 2025 I’m running two marathons two months apart (London Marathon in April and the Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromso, Norway in June). I’m fundraising for @penninecarenhs.bsky.social Pennine Care Charity - if you’d like to donate the link is below to my fundraising page.

Took part in my first Spunch event last night - running/ walking round Sandbach to find 99 orienteering points in 90 mins. Great fun and we found 45 (not bad for our first attempt)
