Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I find winter tough. Tough to stay happy, positive and motivated, and January has always been the worst. I have always used running to balance my mood.  So I'm challenging myself to run every day of January. I'm not fast. I don't train for races. I run purely to get outside, feel better, catch up on the news with my mum and husband, and share the joy of exercising with my most loyal running mate, my dog Max.

I'm doing this challenge because I utterly and totally believe in the benefits of exercise in lifting mood and fighting depression.

I know January can be a tough month financially, so please only give what you feel you can. Any amount is appreciated.
