My Story

I’M RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON 2026! 🏃🏻‍♀️⚡️🖤

Somehow, I’ve signed myself up to run 26.2 miles (yes, twenty six and a bit…the bit counts!!) in the London Marathon 2026.

How on earth did this happen then? Well, I blame my mate Danny. Back in October 2024, he convinced me to do a 5k Parkrun in the pouring rain. I thought it’d be a one off ordeal, but apparently, I must have enjoyed it, because I just…kept running!

Several more park runs, a few races and 4 half marathons down…here we are — the small step from a soggy 5k to a WHOLE MARATHON! 🏅

I’m delighted to be running for team MHA, an amazing charity that supports older people across the UK. MHA, do incredible work supporting older people living with dementia, battling loneliness, and needing that extra care and community. Every step (and every blister!!) will be for them!

Your donations will help MHA continue to make a huge difference 💜

To my lovely group of supportive mates who I'll be dragging on training runs with me for the next 6 months, I'm sorry in advance 😅

Thank you for supporting MHA and for supporting me in this crazy, but very meaningful adventure. Bring on Sunday 26th April 2026! 💪🏻
