Aim: I am raising money for a charitable cause that is very important to me so please donate and help me reach my target
Between May 1st and August 31st I will be taking part in my most ambitious running project yet, running 1000 kilometres - the distance between the South-West and North-Eastern corners of Tennessee. Of course coronavirus means that I won't be doing it in Tennessee. Instead my daily runs around Bevendean will count towards my mileage. You can find out more about the race here - The Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee 1000K
Laurel pointed out that people were going to ask me about fundraising, so I decided to fundraise for the Abortion Support Network, who offer solidarity, not charity, to those seeking abortion.
Many places across the world have used the pandemic as an excuse to restrict access to abortion further. You can find out more here:

ASN do incredible work supporting people from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta, Gibraltar and Poland to access safe abortions, often by travelling to another country. This is more difficult in a pandemic but they continue working hard to enable people to access the healthcare they need.
