784km. 13,000m up. One Crazy Run Across Spain.
8602
Pushing my limits to raise funds for Street Child & Médecins Sans Frontières through a self-supported Camino FKT attempt.
I’m taking on the challenge of running the entire Camino de Santiago – French Way (Camino Francés) – aiming to complete it in under 14 days. That’s 784km, over 13,000m of elevation, and all of it self-supported.
That means no support crew, no van following me — just me, my backpack, and the open trail. I’ll be attempting to set a new women’s Fastest Known Time (FKT) for this iconic pilgrimage route in the self-supported category.
This will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done: the equivalent of running a mountainous ultra marathon every day for nearly two weeks. I’m no stranger to long-distance running, but this challenge pushes every boundary — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I’m doing it to raise money for two charities doing vital work around the world:
🧒 Street Child – helping children access education and break the cycle of poverty.
🏥 Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) – providing life-saving medical care in conflict and crisis zones.
If you’re able to sponsor me, it would mean the world. Every donation — big or small — will help keep me going when the going gets brutal. And together, we’ll be helping vulnerable communities in some of the hardest places on earth.
Thank you so much for your support.
