My Story

I am proud to be running the 2026 TCS London Marathon with Young Lives vs Cancer to ensure no child faces cancer alone.   

In March 2025, my sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, at 15 years old. In the last year, this has affected my family in many ways, and the support from Young Lives vs Cancer was one of the things that brought us some hope. 

So I have decided to run the London Marathon to help other children and young adults get the support that they need and give something back to a charity that helped my family through the last year. Especially as a 21-year-old, Young Lives vs Cancer helps people my age cope during their most difficult times. 

Join me in supporting a good cause.  By sponsoring me, your contribution will make a huge difference to the lives of children and young people with cancer.  Whether you donate £5 or £500 you will be making a big impact.  Thank you for your support. 

Every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer.  Young Lives vs Cancer helps families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them. We'll face it all together - but we can't do it without you.
