This October, I’ll be taking on the Chicago Marathon in memory of my Grandad, who sadly passed away from leukaemia five years ago.

My Grandad was genuinely one of my biggest idols growing up. He was someone I looked up to massively, and losing him to leukaemia was incredibly tough for me and my family.

So five years on, I wanted to do something that properly means something to me and hopefully make him proud.

I’ll be running 26.2 miles around Chicago to raise as much money as possible for Leukaemia Care and help support people and families going through what ours went through.

Anyone who knows me knows that running a marathon isn't exactly a casual Sunday morning for me 😂 so when things inevitably get tough out there, I’ll be thinking about my Grandad and why I’m doing it.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, genuinely means a lot. And if you can’t donate, even sharing the page would be massively appreciated.
