“We are faced with a multiplicity of choices, long to-do lists, and competing interests at work and at home. But some people possess a rare quality that requires you to follow them. This is because of who she is, and what she stands for.

Yes, we are all unique, but only a few of us are extraordinary. And she is extraordinary.”

Jonathan Swaine – Former Managing Director of Fullers

AMBASSADOR, RUNNING MAYOR, RUNNING CLUB FOUNDER, RACE DIRECTOR, CHARITY PATRON – AND COMMUNITY ZEALOT

Over the past 15 years, I have run 18 marathons - including one in a very heavy 7-foot beer bottle costume, I’ve swum ultra-marathons, cycled the Prudential 100 Ride London on a heavy tandem, raised well over £100,000 for different charities, and become a Patron of, the blood cancer charity MDS Patient Support Group.

I have set up a huge and thriving community running club – The Bearcat Running Club, been awarded a Richmond Council Community award for sport and charity, won the Prime Minister’s Point of Light Award and been praised by former PM David Cameron for "tireless dedication".

My drive to improve lives through exercise and community spirit is a serious one. The races I’ve directed - Cabbage Patch 10 and Turk’s Head 10K - and The BeaRCat Running Club I founded, go way beyond physical fitness. Through these groups, along with my 1 Mile a Day for 2020 challenge and On The Run - Live, during the Pandemic, I have continuously sought to help those affected by mental illness find confidence and challenged others to be more open-minded and cultivate new friendships - all ages, abilities and disabilities.

I am an ambassador for lululemon and Digme Fitness, and the Running Mayor of West London. I believe in the power of exercise to heal not only the body but the mind. Community is my religion; I am fervent about the power of bringing people together.

I have been a Race Director since 2012 annually (Cabbage Patch 10 2015-2018 and The Turk’s Head 10 2012-present). I am a tutor who runs marathon workshops at my alma mater, St Mary’s University in Twickenham.

“Simply outstanding, and her words have left a lasting impression on everyone who attended the event. Caitlin has a unique ability to connect with the audience and deliver messages that are both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Her talk was a perfect blend of humour, personal anecdotes, and valuable life lessons, which kept the students engaged and entertained throughout the entire presentation. Caitlin shared her experiences and insights on various topics, such as overcoming challenges, setting goals, and pursuing one's passions.

Our students found Caitlin's talk to be incredibly empowering and her talk has inspired the students to strive for their best and believe in themselves, no matter what obstacles they may face in the future.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Caitlin as an inspirational speaker for any event, particularly for young audiences. She has the unique ability to inspire and motivate, and her words will leave a lasting impact on everyone who has the opportunity to hear her speak.”
