Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2026, I’m running the London Marathon for Dyscover—a charity that means a lot to me. My husband had a stroke a few years ago. Thankfully, he made a strong recovery, but it gave us a glimpse into just how life-changing a stroke can be. We were lucky—but not everyone is.

Training for 26.2 miles is a big challenge, but I’m doing it to help make sure others get the support they need when life takes an unexpected turn.
