I’m running the Berlin Half Marathon in March for The Brain Tumour Charity, and this one is a big one for me. My amazing dad died from a brain tumour six years ago, so supporting this charity feels like the most meaningful thing I can do in his memory. Berlin is also a really special place for me. I ended up there the weekend after he passed, so going back to run through the city feels like closing a little loop in the best possible way.
And because I never do things by halves, this race is also my final Superhalfs… which means it’s officially GIANT MEDAL TIME. Expect an unreasonable number of medal photos, sweaty selfies and smug finish-line snaps because I am absolutely going to milk that moment.
If you’re able to donate, big or small, it genuinely means the world. Every pound helps push forward the brilliant work of The Brain Tumour Charity: they’re the world’s leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research globally. They’re all about saving and improving lives, finding new treatments, offering top-tier support, and pushing for real, urgent change, because when someone you love is diagnosed, a cure simply can’t wait.
And yes, we can absolutely start placing bets on when I’ll cry, because it’s definitely going to happen. Start line? Finish line? Mid-run wobble? Who knows. All I know is: it’s coming.
