Lovely humans,

I'm training to run a half-marathon for @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social in May!

I only started running last year so this is a big challenge for me - but I know the challenge for refugees to rebuild their lives is even greater.

All donations/shares would be HUGELY appreciated!! ❤️❤️❤️
