Amy Ennis

Amy, who is 26 years old, has run casually since the age of 15 but has never considered herself a proper runner. She loves to travel and believes that running is the best way to gain insight into what a new place is really like. She has run a number of half marathons but the North Pole is only her second marathon: She ran the San Fransisco Marathon last summer. Amy is raising money for a hospice charity called Demelza (https://www.demelza.org.uk), which provides care to children in south east England. You can donate to her page at https://www.justgiving.com/amy-runs-the-north-pole-marathon. Having travelled to all seven continents by the age of 22, Amy was looking for a new challenge which incorporated travel, a physical challenge, her love of polar regions and something that could fit around her jobs as an insurance broker and gymnastics coach, which is why she decided to enter the North Pole Marathon.
