Story

In September 2026, I’ll be taking on the Great North Run – my first ever half marathon (13.1 miles!).

I’m incredibly proud to be running in support of Dreams Come True, a charity that creates life-changing experiences for children who have it tough.

Dreams Come True works with children living in some of the most disadvantaged communities across the UK who are facing serious illness, disability, or life-limiting conditions. They provide “moments of magic with lasting impact” – whether that’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, specialist equipment to improve daily life, or precious family memories that will be cherished forever.

These dreams aren’t just nice-to-haves – they bring joy, hope, and a real difference to children and families going through incredibly difficult times.

For me, running 13.1 miles will be tough. But it’s nothing compared to the challenges these children face every single day.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Dreams Come True continue their incredible work and make more dreams a reality for children who truly need it.

If you can, please donate – and if not, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you so much for your support 💙
