Story
In August 2026, I will be embarking on the hardest physical challenge of my life - a 6-day trek to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain on the planet at 5,895m (19,341ft) - to raise awareness and money Teenage Cancer Trust. I will be doing so through an opportunity provided by Choose a Challenge!
I will be involved in physical challenges (including the Manchester Marathon which I completed in April 2025) other organised events throughout the next year, and you will be able track my progress by following my updates along the way via my fundraising page and Instagram!
Thousands of young people are diagnosed with cancer each year in the UK. A cancer diagnosis can come as a massive shock at a time when a young person is just gaining the independence to navigate their adult life. I have seen two close family members receive a life changing cancer diagnosis, and the devastating effects this can have, which is why I am so passionate to make a difference to young lives across the country experiencing .
Teenage Cancer Trust work to provide vital care and support to young people aged 13-24 diagnosed with cancer, through funding specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS, and running events for young people with cancer to meet each other so they never feel alone. Teenage Cancer Trust relies entirely on public donations, and it is with these donations that support can be provided to thousands.
