My Story

On 26 April 2026 I am taking on the London Marathon for Thames Hospice. I will be pushing through long training runs, and preparing tirelessly for the iconic challenge of a lifetime!

I’m running in memory of my beautiful mummy, Sheila. Losing her to terminal cancer was the hardest chapter of my life, but through it all she showed the most incredible strength ❤️

Thames Hospice supported her with compassion and dignity, caring for her in her own home during her final days. I’ll never forget Fran, who was by Mum’s side when she passed and who then came back to help me get her ready to leave her home for the final time. She told me she feels such privilege in her role and that’s something I’ll carry with me forever.

This run isn’t just about the miles, it’s about honouring my mum’s memory, saying thank you to Thames Hospice for their incredible care and helping to ensure other families receive the same comfort and support when they need it most. Every step I take is for Mum, and every pound raised will go towards the work that made such a difference to us. 💛🦋

You can be part of my journey too. Every donation, every share, every cheer will help me go further in supporting Thames Hospice!! 💚

Thank you so much
