Story

In 2024 I pushed myself way out of my comfort zone & ran the London Marathon in memory of Mum, who we tragically lost in 2023 to a short but brutal battle with CNS (brain) lymphoma.

Through this I formed a special relationship with running as a connection to her, & last year ran the Manchester Marathon with my best friend James, to whom, my lovely Mum was like a second mother.

This year, my journey continues & I am taking on the Brighton Marathon.

We’ve raised over £15,000 for Lymphoma action through this journey & I’d love to keep supporting them whilst doing something that helps me to grieve & feel close to my Mum in a way that I find hard in normal life.

My goal is now to run 10 marathons in 10 years & raise as much money as I can to support this wonderful charity along the way.

Bring on Brighton. This is for you Mamma Lion ❤️ 🦁 🏃‍♀️
