My Story

I'm incredibly proud to announce that I'll be running the London Marathon 2026 for Marie Curie. This isn't just a physical challenge for me; it's a deeply personal journey in memory of my beloved mum.

My mum passed away from a brain tumour when I was just 14 years old. Losing her at such a young age was incredibly difficult and had a huge, defining impact on my life. The experience highlighted the immense importance of compassionate end of life care.

Sadly, the reality is stark: every five minutes, someone dies without the end of life care they need. Marie Curie wants to fix that, and so do I.

I'm choosing to run for Marie Curie because I admire their invaluable work supporting individuals and families affected by terminal illness. They provide vital comfort, care, and support when it's needed most, helping people live their final days with dignity and peace.

Marie Curie being the official Charity of the Year for the 2026 TCS London Marathon gives us an incredible chance to make a monumental difference and give more people the best possible end of life care. My race is on. I am running to support the nurses, to reach that finish line. Step by step, #TeamMarieCurie are doing this together. Whatever the illness, Marie Curie is with you to the end.

The London Marathon is an epic challenge, but every mile I train and every step I take on race day will be a tribute to my mum and a step closer to ensuring more families get the care they deserve. I am dedicated to raising as much as possible for this incredible charity.

Please consider donating whatever you can. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference to Marie Curie's ability to provide their compassionate care. Thank you for helping me honour my mum and support this vital cause.
