I am taking on the Hackney Half 2026 (as you probably know from having to endure me talking about my training) and I am using my spot to raise money for Shine.

Shine provides specialist support from before birth and throughout the life of anyone living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus, as well as to parents, families, carers and professional care staff. Shine enables people to get the best out of life.

Everything we do is made possible by our generous supporters. Your fundraising efforts help individuals and families in your local communities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Every donation has the potential for profound impact.

This cause is one that is close to my family’s hearts, and it means a lot to be able to fundraise for such amazing support in a Half Marathon I’ve wanted to do since I started my running journey.

THANK YOU for supporting Shine!
