My Story

Hi everyone! 🍀

I’m so excited (and a little nervous!) to share that I’ll be running the 2026 TCS London Marathon - and I’ll be doing it for the University of Sunderland Futures Fund!

This marathon represents something much bigger than just running 26.2 miles. Over the past year, I’ve been on a journey to rebuild my health, fitness, and confidence - learning discipline, patience, and how powerful small steps can be. Running has become a symbol of resilience for me, and this challenge feels like the perfect way to celebrate how far I’ve come while supporting a cause that truly matters.

The Futures Fund is an incredible initiative that supports Sunderland students by providing life-changing opportunities - from internships and placements to creative and career projects. It helps students reach their potential and experience things they might not otherwise be able to afford.

Training for a marathon will definitely be tough, but knowing that every mile I run helps open doors for someone else makes it all worth it.

My goal is to raise £1,750, and every donation - no matter the amount - will go directly toward helping Sunderland students achieve their potential. Your support, whether by donating or sharing my page, will make a real difference.

Thank you so much for your support - it truly means the world, and I can’t wait to take you with me on this journey! ❤️
