I am running the 2026 TCS London Marathon in support of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, a cause close to mine and my family's hearts. 

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. They ensure The Royal Marsden's world-leading nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. 

When my sisters and I were aged just 13, 10 and 5, our Dad lost his battle with cancer, and huge hole was left in our hearts. Throughout his illness he received care from the Royal Marsden, and so I'm raising money as a way to help other people going through similar experiences with their loved ones, and in thanks to the Marsden for the work they do. 

This will be my first and (probably) last marathon, and as someone who has never run more than 10km this is a huge personal challenge. 

Any donation however big or small will make a huge difference and will mean a lot to my family, and help to spur me through the long, arduous months of training ahead 

Thank you for reading and for your support.

Wish me luck, I'll need it!
