In November 2020 I lost my Mum after her 18 month battle with a brain tumour.

Mum was a walking ray of sunshine. She battled through until the end and did not moan once in the process. Running was one of mums biggest adorations and achievements, and she managed to run the London Marathon twice! My mum was a strong and amazing woman, she did not deserve the path that was chosen for her, and our hearts have ached everyday since.

I run to feel connected to my mum, I run to make my mum proud, but most importantly I am running in her honour to raise money for an amazing charity and as a tribute to her life.

I'm going to be taking on the world's most famous 26.2 miles on Sunday 27 April for The Brain Tumour Charity.

By running for The Brain Tumour Charity, I'm playing a huge part in The Charity's movement to help people with brain tumours live longer and better lives.
