In 2025, I set myself a series of challenges to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust—a charity that means an enormous amount to me after experiencing Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a teenager.

I completed the Dubai Marathon and the Burj to Burj Half Marathon, took on Skydive Dubai, ran 5km every day throughout May and ran the entire length of Palm Jumeirah.

Last year was supposed to culminate with a trek to Everest Base Camp alongside Matt Shepherd and Shaun Siddiqui. Unfortunately, I ruptured my Achilles in July and was unable to take part.

Although I couldn’t make the journey, the rest of our GNR Avengers team successfully reached Everest Base Camp and did us all incredibly proud. We also came together at St James’ Park in September for a brilliant fundraising evening in support of Teenage Cancer Trust.

My injury may have interrupted the journey, but it hasn’t ended it.

After surgery and months of rehabilitation, my comeback begins with the Great North Run in September 2026. In 2027, I aim to take on several of the world’s major marathons before hopefully completing the unfinished business of reaching Everest Base Camp in 2028.

Teenage Cancer Trust provides specialist care and support to young people aged 13–24 who are facing cancer, ensuring they do not have to go through it alone.

Every donation, regardless of the amount, will help this incredible charity continue its vital work—and will give me even more motivation as I take the first major step in my comeback.

Thank you for your support.
