My Story
Running the 2026 TCS London Marathon for Breast Cancer Now
This April, I’m taking on the 2026 TCS London Marathon — 26.2 miles through the heart of London — in support of Breast Cancer Now, a charity that’s close to my heart.
My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. Thankfully, she made a full recovery — something I’m forever grateful for. But it was a frightening reminder of how suddenly life can change.
I’m running for them — and for the thousands of women and families who face this disease every year. I’m running for the mums, grannies, daughters, sisters, and friends who need more than just hope — they need research, support, and real progress.
Breast Cancer Now is the UK’s leading breast cancer research and support charity. They’re working tirelessly to ensure that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives — and is supported to live well.
This marathon is my way of saying thank you. It’s my way of standing up for those still in the fight, and honouring those we’ve lost.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to that future.
Please support my journey — and let’s help create a world where everyone with breast cancer not only survives, but thrives.
