Story

In 2024, I took on the Ealing Half Marathon running for MacMillan Cancer Support. It was my biggest challenge and enforced that in five months I went from being unable to do two miles to having the stamina to get through over 13 miles.

This was important to me as I didn’t want to let down a charity that helps so many people in their time of need. Cancer touches so many people - either personally or through friends and family. It changes lives beyond recognition. I got the taste for it in 2024 and want to play my part in 2026 to have fun running and training, but more importantly raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity.

Please, if you are able, give generously to support this incredible charity that has helped my family in their respective battles against cancer.

Let’s make the difference in 2026! 👏🤝

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
