Rachel's nomination story

Rachel is an inspiration she has ran several marathons for worthy causes partically for children which is her passion. As a working mum of 3 and studying at uni I'm by no means a natural athlete. I hope that i'm sending out the message that it is possible for anyone to achieve anything if they set their mind to it. It doesn't matter how long events take to complete but the sense of achievement and knowing that you are helping to enhance the lives of people less fortunate than yourself is what drives me on to the finish line. I teach yoga for free to children with physical and behavioural needs with the aim of giving them the tools and coping strategies needed to enhance their day to day lives. I hope that i show my children that being able to give back to the community is an important lesson that they will carry on in their lives.
