This October, I’m taking on HYROX Birmingham — and I’m doing it to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

HYROX is a seriously tough fitness challenge: a mix of running and intense functional workouts that will push me to my absolute limit. But every step, lift and rep will be worth it to support a cause that means so much to so many.

We’ve all seen how cancer affects the people we love — friends, family, colleagues — and how vital it is to have the right care and support when it’s needed most. Macmillan does incredible work providing practical help and emotional strength to people facing cancer, and I want to do my bit to help them keep doing it.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could help me reach my target of £400, which could fund the Macmillan Support Line phone service for one hour.

Training is underway, and I’ll be giving it everything I’ve got on race day. If you’re able to support me with a donation, no matter how small, I’d be so grateful.

Thank you so much — Hattie x
