“Feel absolutely AWFUL. Hugely regret doing this…” — my Couch to 5K diary, June 2025

Thankfully, things have improved since then! In April 2026, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon — wait, I'll be doing WHAT?

Yes, really - I’m running in support of Alzheimer’s Society, who fund vital research, support people living with dementia, and help families deal with a condition that affects more and more of us. Training for a marathon is tough, but it’s a choice. Living with dementia — or caring for someone who is — isn’t.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, I’d be hugely grateful- every contribution helps, and it genuinely does make a difference. Thank you!
