Dannika will be running in The London Landmarks Half Marathon on Sunday 6 April 2025 in support of The Cystic Fibrosis Trust (CF Trust). She is aiming to complete the run within 3 hours and is currently training 3 - 4 times per week, on top of teaching 7 days a week. She will soon be starting the Nike Running Club half marathon training programme. She will also be starting personal training sessions with a coach to aid her own individual training in the New Year.

Dannika's mum has Cystic Fibrosis and Dannika is a carrier of the CF gene. Back in lockdown, Dannika raised over £1,100 for the CF Trust and she would LOVE to match this amount. Dannika and her mum ran a 5k at Dulwich Park back in 2015 where they got to meet actress, Jenny Agutter. At the time, Dannika's mum was on IV's, but she was determined to finish the race. This is Dannika's main source of inspiration to get through her race.

This is currently a S E C R E T as Dannika's mum does NOT know. Dannika will be surprising her with an announcement on Christmas Day!!!!

This was Dannika's mum's Just Giving Page in 2015: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Tonia-Hickman

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without even knowing. https://www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk/

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.

Dannika would be eternally grateful for any donations, no matter how small they may be - this charity needs our support!
