My Story

I am so excited that I will be running the London Marathon 2026 with the Slimming World Team raising money for Cancer Research UK. 

Since January I have lost 3.5 stone and well within my target now. During this time I found the love for running, which really helped my journey. 

I feel so honoured to have been given the opportunity to run the London Marathon & in crazy Kayleigh style, I have decided to run Brighton Marathon 2 weeks prior. Resulting in 2 marathons in 2 weeks for Cancer Research UK. 

Cancer Research UK is a charity that is very close to my heart. 
I am running for:

Grandad Barry 1943-2002

Nanny Eileen 1956-2024

and my sister Samantha, who is currently battling her own cancer journey 🩷 

I have first hand seen how cancer treatment has progressed over the decades and this is due to the fundraising for Cancer Research UK. 

So therefore, I am fully dedicating these marathons to my sister and her journey. Her 2 little girls are the motivation that you need as whenever I run, they always remind me 'you are running for Mummy'. 

To all of those families, friends, people that are affected by cancer, I am running for you. Together, we will beat Cancer 💞
