I will be running Manchester Marathon 2024 on 14th April in support of Crohn's and Colitis UK, a charity close to mine and my family’s hearts.

In February 2023, whilst in her third year of University, my sister Cathryn received a life-altering diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis. This opened my family and I up to the challenges and hardships faced by those living with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), particularly the difficulties in navigating these diseases as a young person.

Witnessing firsthand the impact of Colitis on Cathryn’s life has motivated me to raise both funds and awareness for Crohn's and Colitis UK, and look forward to a world where individuals with IBD can thrive with dignity and support.
