Story

As I approach a year of losing my dad on 21/01/25, I’ve decided to run the Paris Marathon in his memory, raising money for Alzheimer’s research 🤍

My dad lived with dementia for 6 years, and after losing him I found strength and healing through fitness. What started as a way to cope has led me here — which still feels mad, especially as only a few weeks ago I hadn’t even run a half marathon.

I’m ready to lock in & focus over the next few months. Every mile is for my dad, and any support would mean so much. 💙

Thank you for helping me honour his memory 🕊️
