I am running as part of Team Marsden for the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026 to make a difference to cancer patients everywhere.

Like so many of us, I have had multiple family and friends being treated at the Marsden, have also been for investigations myself in the past and have friends who work there and do amazing work. It’s such an important place and we’re lucky to have the Sutton Marsden branch on our doorstep!

I’ve also just had my second baby! This is a great motivational challenge to lose some baby weight and get fit again!

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money to save the lives of people with cancer. They ensure The Royal Marsden’s world-leading nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and groundbreaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, they will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
