My Story

This year, I’m running the London Marathon for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words you have cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn't stop young people living their lives. They're the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.

I chose this charity not just because of the amazing work they do, but because one of my best friends Sala fought cancer as a teenager. We’ve always enjoyed running together and after completing the Birmingham Half Marathon, we’ve decided to take on the full London Marathon challenge, both raising money for very similar causes.

I want to do my bit to help anyone facing something similar and support this incredible work. I’d be so grateful for any donation — thank you so much for your support.
