Carole is a Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF) for DMotR. She started running 4 years ago following a family bereavement. At the time joining the group was a big step but she has never looked back. Through the group she has made lifelong friends, they have an annual running holiday to France with lots of other outings in between, and of course the obligatory cup of coffee after every run.

When Carole started running 5k was a major achievement and as long as she went at the same pace she could keep going. Gradually over the years she has increased her mileage and completed several events. She put on her bucket list to run a marathon before she was 60. Having never been to Paris she decided the best way to see the city was to run round it so that's what she did, loving every minute of the 26 miles.

Having gained so much from the group Carole wanted to give something back and help other members so become a run leader.
