🏃‍♂️ 13.1 miles. One more chance. Running for Macmillan. 💚

Last year I ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon in 2:50. I was proud, exhausted and convinced I’d never put myself through it again. I ran in memory of our friend and colleague Andy Tibbs, and that day has stayed with me ever since.

But what felt like the end became unfinished business. Running started to change me, making me fitter, clearer‑headed and more present in my day‑to‑day life. It gave me space, perspective, and a sense of progress I didn’t know I needed.

Then injury stopped me completely. Losing running, something that had quietly become my anchor during a family members cancer diagnosis hit harder than I expected. It made me realise just how much strength, stability and escape those miles had given me.

Now I’m rebuilding, step by step, and taking on something I once swore I’d never do again:

The Edinburgh Half Marathon for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Why Macmillan?

Because when life feels heavy and uncertain, they show up for people with compassion, guidance and humanity. Their work changes lives in ways you can never fully appreciate until you’ve seen it up close.

I’m running for the families they support, for people facing battles far tougher than 13.1 miles, and for those who would give anything to be able to run their own miles.

If you can spare anything, even a few pounds or a quick share, it genuinely helps. 💚
