🌟 Besties Betsy and Taylor Run to Paris for Charity! 🌟
Meet Betsy Board and Taylor Lambert, the dynamic duo who recently embarked on the ultimate adventure: running from London to Paris! These two met while studying in Cardiff and bonded over their love for all things sporty.
It all started with a spontaneous message from Betsy to Taylor, asking if she’d dare to run 245 miles to the City of Light. Without hesitation, Taylor was in, and the two planned their journey over just a couple of months.
They set off from Clapham Common with just a backpack each, filled with essentials for their six-day run. Their journey took them through stunning scenery in South Croydon, the South Downs, and right across northern France. Not to mention, they caught the women’s EUROs final while crossing the Channel!
With every stride, they raised over £1,000 for Heart Research UK and Canine Partners, charities very close to their hearts. Betsy’s family deals with a rare genetic heart condition, and Taylor’s mum benefits from the support of a canine companion.
Despite not being the most organised travellers (picture plaid baguettes strapped to backpacks), they loved every sweaty, sun-soaked moment of this incredible journey. They tackled days running up to 50km, handling a few misadventures like missing meals and trekking across motorways.
Finally arriving in Paris, they celebrated with fresh clothes and a well-deserved rest. Reflecting on the experience, Taylor appreciated the break from social media and immersing themselves in nature, while Betsy loved the challenge and the cause.
But this isn’t the end. They’re planning even more adventures and hope to inspire others by sharing their stories through a podcast. Their motto? You don’t have to follow the crowd; there’s joy in the unexpected.
Join us in cheering on these two unstoppable friends on their future challenges! 🏃♀️❤️ #ParisBound #CharityRun #BestiesAdventures
