I am delighted to be joining #TeamARUK for the 2026 Dublin Marathon in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

This cause is incredibly personal to me. Both my dad and my father-in-law died from Parkinson’s disease, and I will never forget the impact neurodegenerative diseases have on the people we love and their families.

Although Parkinson’s and dementia are different conditions, both can have a devastating effect on the brain, everyday life and entire families.

Alzheimer’s Research UK is working towards a cure by transforming how dementia is diagnosed, treated and prevented, bringing hope to millions of people affected by this heartbreaking disease.

My training has included plenty of races along the way, including:

- Liverpool Half Marathon – 15/03/26

- BrewDog Dundee to St Andrews Run – 11/04/26

- Angus Half Marathon – 19/04/26

- Barry Buddon Half Marathon – 26/04/26

- Dublin City Half Marathon – 03/05/26

- Monikie 10K and 5K – 17/05/26

- Edinburgh Half Marathon – 24/05/26

- Broughty Ferry 10K – 07/06/26

- Dundee Half Marathon – 12/07/26
