My Story

I have worked at the Royal Marsden for 30 years and I have seen first hand, both professionally and personally, the amazing work carried out by the Trust and Charity. I am running the 2026 TCS London Marathon in support of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. I would like to honour and support the Trust and Charity and most importantly raise funds to support our amazing work.

Cancer fundraising is very close to my heart. I have a personal connection in that the Trust has treated people close to me. The support that the Trust provides to patients is second to none and witnessing this is humbling. The Marsden is a special place, full of good people and I am proud to work within such an amazing Trust. 

Though daunting I am up for the challenge of the marathon and will be working super hard to get myself ready for this event. In the last 12 months I have been diagnosed with FMS and as a result have focused on my health and fitness in order to give me the best possible odds to keep the condition under control. Undertaking the London Marathon, the best marathon on the planet - is a dream come true!
