Story

On Sunday April 26th, I’ll be running the 2026 TCS London Marathon in support of Marie Curie, a charity that means so much to me and my family.

Marie Curie supported my late mother-in-law, Olwen, with such compassion and dignity during an incredibly difficult time. The care they gave her, and the support they gave us is something we will always be grateful for. I know that if she were here, she’d be waiting at the finish line with a warm hug and a cup of tea, cheering me on every step of the way.

Running 26.2 miles (42km) is a huge personal challenge. My kids say that I run “weird” and go bright red (they’re not wrong there!), but I do have grit and determination and a very strong reason to reach that finish line.

If you’re able to sponsor me, I would be truly grateful. Your support will help Marie Curie continue to care for families when they need it most, and it will mean the world to me.

Thank you so much. Liz 💛
