Our Events Coordinator for The Alfie Gough Trust and Alfie’s Striders:
Meet Zoe Ives
“Well where to start….?
I’ve been involved with Alfie’s Striders and the Alfie Gough Trust since the very beginning and hold both very close to my heart.
The first event I did was the London 10k around 6 yrs ago for the Alfie Gough Trust. Although I loved the buzz of the atmosphere I couldn’t run for toffee and walked the majority of it. Me and running were not friends.
A good few years down the line a little run club started with 5 of us attending and my run journey began. We would run 30secs walk 2 mins . It was hard and certainly wasn’t pretty, but we laughed , had fun and supported each other. Charlie joined us and Alfie’s Striders was born, which has gone from strength to strength.
I have been totally proud of being Alfie’s Striders women’s captain for the past year and being part of The Alfie Gough Trust. I am really looking forward to my new role within the club and Charity.”
