My Story

On the 27th of April 2025, I will be running the London Marathon, raising much needed funds for Children with Cancer UK. 

As many of you will know, my journey to the marathon is probably a little different to the average runner. I have spent much of my life either unable to run or simply not allowed. However, I am quite determined and what I lack in experience, I make up for in mental strength. 

To date, I haven't run more than 5 miles. I will be working on a my training plan to ensure I am ready for that start line.

If someone had told me at aged 6, 10 , 13 or even 16 that I would enter to run a marathon, I would never have believed them, let alone thought it possible. 

I am really looking forward to taking this on as a personal challenge.
