I’m running my first ever marathon on 27th April — and it’s for a really important cause.

Before I started training 16 weeks ago, the furthest I’d ever run was 13 miles… and that was over 10 years ago. Taking on a full marathon felt like a huge leap — but I knew it was something I had to do.

I’m running in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, an organisation that does extraordinary work helping people and families through some of life’s toughest moments. Like so many others, I’ve seen the impact cancer can have — and I want to give something back.

Every mile I run is for those who can’t, and every donation — no matter how small — will help Macmillan continue their vital work.

Thank you for your support, it means so much.
