Why I’m Running for Macmillan 💚

I started running just for fun, nothing serious, just me and my very questionable playlist plodding around the park.

Then I joined a women’s-only running club to make some new friends, figuring it would be a nice, casual way to get fitter and have a laugh.

Fast forward a few months, and those new friends have convinced me to run 13.1 miles, on purpose.

So now I’m signed up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2026 and what started as a hobby has officially escalated into a full-blown challenge.

But if I’m going to put my legs (and willpower) through this, I want it to mean something bigger. That’s why I’ve chosen to run for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Macmillan does incredible work helping people and their families through one of the hardest times of their lives, offering everything from emotional support to practical advice and care. Whether it’s a friendly voice at the end of the phone, or a nurse by your side when you need them most, Macmillan makes a huge difference.

I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me. Your donation will support Macmillan’s life-changing work, and help carry me through every mile (especially the painful ones after mile 10 😅).

Thank you so much in advance for donating whatever you can, it really will make a massive difference 💚
