Support our #TeamARUK 2025 TCS London Marathon runners as they take on 26.2 miles for a cure!

Story

In April 2025 - now this month - I’ll be taking on my first marathon - the TCS London Marathon - and aim to raise funds for Alzheimer's Research UK in the process.

Losing my Nan to Alzheimer’s last year was incredibly hard, but this challenge isn’t about my loss. It’s about hope - hope that through research, we can find better treatments, earlier diagnoses, and one day, a cure for this devastating disease. Every step I take during the marathon will be for the millions affected by Alzheimer’s, their families, and carers.

I’m now aiming to raise £2,000, which could help fund vital research into the causes and prevention of Alzheimer’s, support clinical trials, and provide hope to those living with the disease. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to a breakthrough that could change a live.

And this is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a chance to come together and support my mission through 26.2 miles of running. So, if you've landed on my page, I’d love for you to share a song with me in the comments - something meaningful, uplifting, or just fun! I’ll add it to a Spotify playlist, which I’ll listen to on race day to keep me going. So, whether you're able to donate or not, your words of encouragement and support will mean just as much.

I’ll also be sharing my training journey via Strava, so you can follow along as I prepare for the big day. Whether it’s cheering me on through my long runs or helping me push through the tough days, your support will make a huge difference.

Let’s make a difference together and take one step closer to a world free from Alzheimer’s. Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
