Four years ago, after COVID, I took up running to get fit. What started with a 0-5k course with the great B2R has now led me to my first London Marathon on April 26, 2026! I've run countless 5ks and 10ks, and completed a few half marathons.

I'm running for a cause incredibly close to my heart: Battersea Cats and Dogs Home. Battersea takes in cats and dogs, gives them the expert care they need, and helps find them loving new homes. To secure my place in this monumental event, I need to raise £2,500. The pressure of hitting this target is more daunting than the 26.2 miles itself.

I am reaching out to you wonderful people for support. Any donation, big or small, makes a huge difference in the lives of these animals who deserve a second chance. Thank you for considering helping me make a positive impact! Battersea will always be here for every dog and cat.
