My Story

Why I’m Running the London Marathon

Never thought I’d run a marathon.

I’ve always been in the gym, not chasing 26.2 miles.

I’m doing this for a friend I lost to sickle cell in 2017.

Seeing that up close changes you. It’s more than an illness, it’s constant pain and a fight most people never see.

I’m running for him, and supporting Anthony Nolan — helping people get a real chance at life through stem cell donations and research.

First marathon. Never even done a 10k.

But this is bigger than comfort.

Every mile is for him.

Every bit of support matters.
