A supervisor at a local advice charity has committed to running three long-distance races to raise money for Citizens Advice Flintshire. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The funds raised will help residents in Flintshire access advice and deal with the effects of the Cost of Living Crisis. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Despite running to keep fit for most of her adult life, Sara Jones has never entered an organised race. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

However, she believes that running for a cause close to her heart will be a good way to push herself to new limits. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“It’s crucial that as many people as possible have access to advice that could make a huge difference this coming year; our fundraising efforts help us continue to provide this vital service,” said Sara. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Sara’s first event will be the Chester 10k on March 12th, followed by a half marathon in May and a metric marathon in October. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Despite the challenging training regimes that come with each race, Sara is committed to completing all three events to support her cause. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Citizens Advice Flintshire offers free and confidential advice to local residents. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The charity provides assistance with benefits and debt advice, housing and employment issues, energy, consumer questions, and much more. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Many people have accessed the service receiving advice and support needed to navigate the challenges of the Cost of Living Crisis. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

By participating in these events, Sara is helping to ensure that the charity can continue to provide these essential services to those who need them most. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Those wishing to support Sara’s triple run can find her fundraising page on JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sara-jones88. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
