Story
Hi there!
Thank you for taking a look at my fundraising page.
I'm running the Sydney Marathon in support of the great work that The Debbie Gaunt Foundation are doing to raise awareness of mental health symptoms during perimenopause and menopause. They are raising awareness in order to ensure that HRT is offered as an option instead of resorting to anti-depressants that often have the opposite effect.
As a 48year old in perimenopause myself, running the Sydney Marathon is proving to be my hardest challenge to date. After a brief pause in running after a back operation in 2021 my body went full on into perimenopause. This has meant that not only are my joints and tendons painful whilst running, but my mindset and motivation is different too. Luckily I am educated in why this is happening which is making me more determined to complete the marathon with those women who physically or mentally can't.
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to my charity of choice 'The Debbie Gaunt Foundation' via 'The Iris Foundation'.
Thanks so much for your support!
Karen. x
