I’m running the Manchester Half Marathon on October 4, 2026, to support Cancer Research UK.

I have previously worked with a lovely group of volunteers at a cancer research shop and met many people from the local community, many of whom had been affected by cancer in some way, either going through it themselves or supporting someone close to them. Hearing their stories made me realise just how important this cause is, and how much of a difference support and community can make.

I am running in loving memory of my girlfriends Grandad Bob, and the women in my family who have been affected by breast cancer.

Nearly 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime. Every donation makes a difference, so please sponsor me and help to power pioneering research.

Together we are beating cancer.
