My Story

This will be my first marathon, ever! I am training, and I won’t stop until I am ready to run it for real in April 2025. I have decided to challenge myself, after years of tough, tough mental fear. 

Surely it's going to be hard, but nowhere as hard as when a child is sick. When that happens, the whole world shatters and organisations like Make-A-Wish Foundation are there because when it comes to children' dreams, they deserve to wish for more than a life defined by their illness.

Make-A-Wish UK is part of a global movement that grants life-changing wishes, rescuing the magic of childhood even in their toughest times and providing a lifeline for families to spend precious time together.

I would love to run to do my part, to help children and families who cannot help themselves.

This marathon is a purpose, and I will succeed, because there is nothing stopping me. I want to run to defeat my fear of failure. I want to run because I have not been kind enough to myself for too long. I will run because I can.

Help me reach my target! Help me raise funds for Make-A-Wish UK!

I will pledge my sweat and hurting legs, you can pledge some £££! 

Let's do our part and change some kids' lives.
