Run the Hackney Half Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Story

I’m back…

This May I’m running the Hackney Half for Alzheimer’s Research UK once again 💙

Alzheimer’s is devastating — we all know that. But spending time back home caring for my mum, who was so cruelly diagnosed with early-onset four years ago, has brought the reality of it into even sharper focus. It’s painfully all-consuming in a way that’s hard to put into words.

So if you’re able to support, I’d be incredibly grateful — every donation goes towards the vital work of Alzheimer’s research.

A few guarantees from race day:

- A PB is highly unlikely (Hackney is for the vibes anyway)

- I won’t be looking nearly cool enough for the streets of East London

- Having neglected all strength training - my knees/ankles will be fighting their own battle.

If you didn’t already know, Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity — working towards a cure by transforming how we diagnose, treat and prevent dementia.

Thank you so much for supporting me 💙
