Story

Hey everyone,

It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a little life update, nearly 5 years now which seems crazy! I have something really exciting to announce… for my 5 year anniversary of beating Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I am running the London Marathon! Yes…. You read that right…. I am doing the London Marathon (I still can’t quite believe it myself). For the past 8 weeks I’ve been working hard to try and turn myself into a runner, and if you know me, you’ll know that it doesn’t come naturally. It’s been hard work, but I’ve reached my first target of running a 5k and it’s only up from here!

I went on a crazy journey nearly 5 years ago, fighting for my life and undergoing intense chemotherapy, and I know a lot of you followed that journey. Macmillan were there for me every step of the way, and that’s why I am doing the marathon to raise money for them! It’s going to be a difficult, but rewarding challenge and I can’t wait!

If you could support me with any donations in any way, that would really be appreciated. I’ll be doing some fundraising activities up until the marathon so keep a look out!

Thanks people 💖💖💖💖
