My Story

Every five minutes, someone dies without the end of life care they need.

Marie Curie wants to fix that, and so do I.

So in April 2026, I'll be taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon not just for the medal, but for something much bigger.

I'm running to follow in the footsteps of my dad, who has completed the marathon twice in the last two years and has inspired me every step of the way.

But this run is also in memory of our much-loved assistant manager, Timothy Forde, who sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2024. His strength and spirit left a lasting impact on all of us. I'll be running for him, and for everyone currently fighting cancer, and in support of the amazing work Marie Curie does for people living with terminal illness.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to supporting more families during the toughest times. Thank you so much for your support it truly means the world.

By being the official Charity of the Year for the 2026 TCS London Marathon, Marie Curie has a chance to give more people the best possible end of life care. And step, by step #TeamMarieCurie 
My race is on. I am running to support the nurses, to reach that finish line.

Whatever the illness, Marie Curie is with you to the end.
