This year, I will be running the Berlin Marathon in memory of my wonderful Aunt Mary Ling, who after a long, brave battle passed away in 2020. My cousin Nick first started running for Mary, and his drive and passion inspired my own marathon journey.

Through this run, I am raising funds for Anthony Nolan, a charity that matches stem cell donors with people battling blood cancers and disorders, giving patients a second chance at life through life saving transplants and pioneering research. By supporting this cause, I hope to honour Mary's memory and help others facing similar battles.

Many of you supported me when I ran the Chicago Marathon last year and together we raised an amazing amount. I’d love to beat my target again this year and make an even bigger difference.

I am so grateful for any donation you can make. Every dollar helps give people a second chance of life!
