Story

This year, I’ve decided to do something a little unhinged: run the London Marathon 🏃‍♂️ in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Cancer has affected my family deeply, and while that’s not something I joke about, this run is about turning something incredibly hard into something positive. It’s my way of honouring the loved ones we’ve lost, supporting those still fighting, and backing a charity that helps people through the toughest moments of their lives.

Macmillan does truly incredible work — offering medical, emotional and practical support to people living with cancer. They’re there when it matters most, and every donation helps them continue that life-changing work.

Thank you for the support, the encouragement, and for cheering me on.

If you can donate or share this page, I’d be massively grateful. You’ll be supporting an amazing charity — and helping make sure all this running isn’t for nothing.
