Story
Hi, I’m Verity 👋
Five years ago, I nearly lost everything.
At 19, I survived sepsis. At 20, I was diagnosed with type one diabetes.
Doctors told me my life would look different. That there were things I wouldn’t be able to do.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: when life draws a line around you, you don’t shrink — you redraw it bigger.
Now, I’m taking that belief to the extreme.
🏃♀️ 100 marathons
📅 In under 365 days
✈️ Fuelled by cabin crew life, layovers, and relentless discipline
🏅 Chasing history — and redefining what’s possible
This isn’t just a challenge. It’s a statement.
Because running one marathon is hard. Running 100 is something else entirely.
And I’m doing it with sepsis scars, insulin injections, and a body that was once told to slow down.

Why I’m Running
I’m running for two causes written into my DNA:
• 💙 Sepsis UK — because I know how quickly it can take everything, and how vital early recognition is.
• 🩸 Breakthrough T1D — because living with type one diabetes shouldn’t limit a life, and the future can be better.
Every marathon is more than 26.2 miles.
It’s a thank you. A fight. A message.
To anyone who feels held back by a diagnosis, a setback, or fear:
your story is not over.
I’ll be documenting everything — the exhaustion, the jet lag, the early starts, the emotional highs, the moments I want to quit… and the moments I don’t.

The Goal
🎯 100 marathons. Less than 1 year.
🎯 £10,000+ raised for life-changing causes
But more than that —
To leave behind undeniable proof that limits are often just lines waiting to be moved.

⸻
✨ This isn’t just my journey. It’s ours.

a diagnosis is not the end of your story — it can be the start of your most powerful chapter.
Follow along as I turn days into marathons, miles into meaning, and one year into something unforgettable.
Running With Purpose.
Thank you for being part of this 💙
