Why I’m choosing to run for DofE ⛰️🥾
Monday 8th Sep🌸💖 Hi I’m Valentina 💖🌸
🏃♀️✨ I’m running the Manchester Half Marathon 2025 ✨🏃♀️ to raise money for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) 🌟, a programme that has truly shaped who I am 💪🌈.
Completing all three levels 🥉🥈🥇 taught me resilience 💥, confidence 🌸, and courage 🦋 while giving me memories I’ll treasure forever 💫📸💖.
DofE isn’t just an award 🎖️, it’s a chance for young people to discover their potential 🌟, step outside their comfort zone 🚀, and prove to themselves they can achieve more than they ever dreamed possible 💕🌍.
That’s why I’m so passionate about making sure every young person has access to this life-changing opportunity 🌈🌟🌸.
👉 If you’re between 14 and 25, I cannot recommend starting your DofE journey enough - it will change your life 🌍💫.
And if you’re able to support my fundraising 🌷💖, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping others experience this incredible programme 🌟💫🌸.
✨📩 If you do donate and would like to message me directly, I would love to thank you personally 🌷💫
