The head of the drama department at Kettering Science Academy has set herself a personal goal for the summer to complete her first 5k race in aid of Cancer Research.
Miss Julia Mallard has signed up to take part in this year’s Race for Life in Northampton at Abington Park on Sunday, 7th June.
She said training is going well and that signing up for the event has made her think more about making healthy life choices, including changing her diet.
Miss Mallard said: “I just decided I wanted to do something for me and I never thought I would be doing this, but I am really enjoying it. I enjoy the running on my own and I am looking forward to taking part in the race in June. I am not setting myself a time goal as I will just be happy to complete it.”
She added: “I have set myself a fundraising target of £150 and I have raised £100 already from just asking family and friends.”
Miss Mallard will be setting off with all the other Race for Life runners, joggers and walkers at the park from 2pm on Sunday, 7th June.
