I'm raising money because I contracted and survived bacterial meningitis and septicemia at two weeks old—something many others don’t. I was very lucky to get quick medical care and a lot of support from my family growing up, and I've lived with only moderate hearing loss as a result, but not everyone is as fortunate.

Running the London Marathon 2026 for Meningitis Research Foundation is my way of giving back—raising money for research, awareness, and support for families affected by this disease.
