I'm running the Hackney Half to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation.

I lost my cousin unexpectedly in 2023 which had an unimaginable impact on my family and I. She was 23, the light of every room. Navigating that was one of the hardest things I, and I think my family as a whole, have ever had to go through. I was lucky to have a great support system around me, but not every one is, so having the right resources to reach out you makes all the difference, something the MHF provides.

I am now the age Angela was when she passed. I was never meant to outlive her, but I will live on in her light, her legacy, and spreading her message - small love to big love. This half marathon is just one of the ways to honour that.

Any amount would mean the world to me. In memory of Angela ♥️🪽
