I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for the DofE charity!

Hi everyone, I'm Amy and I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October for the DofE charity!

As part of my Gold Award, I joined my school's running club and I'm so glad I did! Although I never considered myself to be a runner, I've been really lucky to be part of such a supportive group of runners, and I'm now working towards something I never thought I could do; running a half marathon.

DofE isn't just about expeditions; it builds confidence, teamwork and resilience in young people. With your help, the DofE charity can fund equipment, training and grants for those who couldn't otherwise afford to take part. Anyone who has taken part in DofE will agree that it truly is a life changing experience, giving you the chance to learn new skills and pushing you out of your comfort zone. This is why I want to give back to the DofE charity by raising funds to help more young people access this amazing opportunity.

Thank you so much for your support, it really means a lot!
