Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m excited to share that I’m running the Brighton Marathon on Sunday, April 6th 2025, and I could really use all the encouragement I can get! 🏃‍♀️

Technically, this isn’t my first marathon; I actually took part in the London Shine Night Walk in my early 20s. It didn’t go so well, I completed the full 26.2 miles but I wasn’t happy with my performance. My younger self thought it would be a good idea to:

• Not do any real training.

• Go white-water raft the day before.

• Wear a Hulk onesie (which was one size too small) for the entire 26.2 miles

• and celebrate with a shot every mile. 🍹

Safe to say, I didn’t set any records – or inspire any marathon training manuals. But this time, I’m training properly (well, mostly).

I’m running for Mama to Mama, a charity that ensures all parents and caregivers have access to the items and resources they need for a healthy and happy start to family life. Their mission is very personal to me, and knowing I’m supporting such a great cause will motivate me when the miles get tough.

Having a charity to run for also means I can’t back out.

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference to families in need and will provide me with that extra motivation to drag myself across the finish line (trust me, I’ll need it).

So please help me support this amazing cause! If you can’t donate, that’s completely okay — cheering me on from afar (or in person) is just as appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support; it means the world to me and to Mama to Mama. Here’s to running, giving back, and hopefully completing 26.2 miles without heading to the closest bar.
