In April 2026, I will be taking on the challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for a special cause.

I’m fundraising for someone incredibly special to me, my boyfriend, Ed 💙

Ed has had Type 1 diabetes since he was 11 years old, which means he’s basically been a pro at carrying snacks everywhere for most of his life. Type 1 diabetes doesn’t get days off, and while Ed handles it incredibly well, it’s a constant daily challenge that requires resilience, discipline, and strength.

Living with diabetes means lots of finger pricks, insulin injections, managing hypos & hypers, checking blood sugars, hospital appointments and always having to plan ahead (especially when food is involved!). It’s not easy and can be tiring and frustrating at times, but Ed takes it all in his stride with determination and good humour. I couldn’t be prouder of him.

I’m raising money to support diabetes research and care, with the hope of better treatments and one day, a cure. Every donation really does make a difference, and helps people like Ed live easier, healthier lives.

Thanks so much for reading and for supporting, it truly means the world.
