My Story

I’m running this for Marie Curie because they gave my granny the most unbelievable care when she needed it most. She sadly passed away just before lockdown after battling MND and honestly, she wasn’t just my granny… she was my best pal.

Growing up, we were inseparable. She’d pick me up from school every day, we’d sit down with a proper pot of tea (anything else was “tinker’s tea” 😅), and she’d feed me like an absolute king. I loved nothing more than sitting there, listening to all her amazing stories about life, those moments are burned into me forever.

I miss her every single day. One day, I can’t wait to have that cuppa with her again, up there, and have a good old chit-chat about everything I’ve been up to. Until then, running the London marathon and raising money for Marie Curie feels like the best way I can honour her, keep her memory alive, and help other families going through the same fight with MND. 

Even just sharing this means the world to me, and if you can donate anything at all, it’s going straight to an absolutely amazing cause that truly makes a difference.
