In June, she will set off at midnight for the 26-mile Edinburgh Moonwalk before running the London 10k a month later.

And finally, in August, she will get take part in the 100-mile Prudential Ride in London to complete her fundraising for the air ambulance.

Natalie, who studied at Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, said: “The conditions for my first two events have been challenging and mentally testing but I’m determined to continue with the remaining challenges.

“My mindset has always been that if I commit to do something I will see it through and giving up is not an option. I may not be the quickest person out there but at least I’m giving it a go.”
