Story

Hi all! Thank you for visiting this page.

I'm running the Manchester Marathon in April 2026 in memory of my incredible father, who sadly passed away from a heart attack a couple of years ago. He was my inspiration, my mentor, and my hero. His unwavering support and guidance shaped me into the person I am today.

One of his greatest lessons was that with determination and hard work, anything is possible. This challenge is exactly that for me! This is the furthest distance I've run and likely to ever run in one go. As well as honouring his memory, I’m intent on starting a new chapter in my life regarding my health and want to make a difference at the same time. Every step I take will be in his honour, and every mile will bring me closer to making a difference in the fight against heart disease. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation, an organisation that's crucial in the quest for better heart health and care. With your support, I can make a difference and keep my dad's memory alive. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
