Like many others, I felt very inspired watching the London Marathon in April 2024, and chucked an application form in for 2025. Having entirely forgotten about it for a few months, I then found out I had a place...

I'll be running for Anthony Nolan, the charity that facilitates life-saving stem cell transplants for people with blood cancer and other diseases. If you know me then you undoubtedly know alllllll about my dead dad, and how passionate I am about working towards a future where other families don't have to go through similar situations. I've fundraised for Anthony Nolan for many years (and even interned there as a fresh-faced uni graduate), and can vouch that the work they do - and the hope they instil - is truly unmatched.

I am by no means a runner so any and all donations welcome to motivate me through the long training runs to come!

Anthony Nolan’s world-leading stem cell register, groundbreaking cell and gene therapy research and expertise in stem cell transplants means we currently help four patients a day in need of a transplant, giving more people another chance to live. But we know we can, and must, do more. Driven by patients, backed by stem cell donors, powered by science, and with your support, we won’t stop until we’ve uncovered the lifesaving potential of the cells inside us all, and every patient can survive and thrive.
