Finishing the run and actually crossing Tower Bridge… it’s just such a beautiful place to run over - and you know you’re nearly there.

Teach First has offered me the best teachers - that is, teachers who care, teachers who inspire, and teachers who are genuinely passionate.

After three years running, I wanted to give back in a different way - so I volunteered instead. It’s such a great atmosphere.
