Story

In February 2026, my mum was diagnosed with cancer — a moment that completely changed our world.

Anyone who knows me knows how close we are. We’re truly like two peas in a pod, so hearing that news was heartbreaking in a way I can’t fully put into words.

That’s why I’ve decided to run a half marathon — not just for her, but for every family going through something like this. Cancer affects so many lives, and I want to do my bit to help make a difference.

I’m raising money to support life-saving research and to give hope to those who need it most. We won’t let cancer win 💪🏽

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world to me and my family. Every single contribution helps.

Thank you so much for your support ❤️
