After picking up running like a mad woman during lockdown (sorry if you’re sick of hearing me talk about running) and then taking part in a few half marathon races aiming to hit my 30 half’s before 30 (currently at 8..!), I wanted to do my next challenge of a marathon.. hoping to get into 2022’s London Marathon, which was my top choice ever since I could run, amazingly I’ve bagged a place to run for the amazing charity, Macmillan Cancer Support. 

Sadly, majority of people know someone or are directly affected themselves by cancer, including myself, but Macmillan are there to support those in need. I’d like to think I’m running this with my mum in mind who tackled breast cancer back in 2019 which threw the whole family into quite a spin. Since then, after recovering she has really thrown herself into running, being my partner in crime and pushing all limits, even running the Royal Parks Half Marathon last year. I really am proud to call her my mum.

If you would like to help and support my journey, I’ll also be selling and/or raffling off some of my special bakes, including Biscoff stuffed cookies, brownies, blondies and much more which you can get involved in on Instagram @embrownie_ keep your eyes peeled! 

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. At Macmillan, we give people with cancer everything we’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are our worries. We’re doing whatever it takes. But without your help we can’t support everyone who needs us. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
