Story

On the 12th April 2026 I’m running the London landmarks half marathon. In 2024 I lost my sister suddenly. She was my everything and it felt like I wasn’t whole anymore. I just kept going….. first week, month and when I reached her 1st year anniversary nothing changed she still wasn’t here. This is when I think the grief hit me the most. The feeling of still being so lost but having to keep moving forward.

I have had my low days.

On the 12th April i will be running 21k. On that day it will be 21 months since my sister’s funeral. Every kilometre I will be running will be a month since I said goodbye. I need to do this, to get through another year and deal with grief in a positive way. That’s why I’m running for the charity Mind. For my mental health.

The last time I ran a half marathon (over 10+ years ago)it was with my sister. I know she will be with me every step of the way, cheering me on.

Time isn’t a healer we just learn to live with the pain in time. I want people to know it’s ok to not be ok all the time and if we can come together and talk, together we can get through these dark times x

Joining me on this journey is three very special ladies Jessie, Kerry and Vicky. It’s going to be emotional but I can’t wait to do it with you x we got this! I will add their links soon ….
