My Story

About my run

On 26 April, I will stand at the start line of the London Marathon 2026 — about to run 42 kilometres from Blackheath to The Mall.

This is something I never imagined I would do.

I didn’t start this journey as a runner. When I began training in June 2025, even short runs felt difficult. There were many moments of doubt, discomfort, and questioning why I had taken this on. But step by step, something changed — this challenge became deeply personal.

I’m not running because it’s easy, and not because I love running. I’m running because it means something. I’m running for people who don’t have the privilege to choose their challenges.

I’m proud to support British-Ukrainian Aid — delivering vital humanitarian and medical aid during incredibly difficult times in Ukraine.

Every kilometre I run will carry this purpose.

If you’re able to donate, or support in any way, it would mean more than I can fully express.

Thank you for being part of this journey 💙

Please support me, support Ukraine !🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini!
