Hello everyone, I will be running the Brighton Marathon on April 12th 2026 for CJD Support Network in memory of someone very special, a person who meant alot to my family and especially to my mum, her best friend, Lou.

Losing Lou so suddenly was a shock that we are all still coming to terms with. She wasn’t just a close family friend — she was part of our family. Lou was one of those people who just made life brighter. She had this incredible energy, her laughter filled every room and her kindness touched everyone she met.

CJD Support Network is a charity that provides help and understanding to families affected by Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, they do amazing work supporting people through the most difficult times. This charity also supports the testing and research that goes into the diagnosis, care, and treatment of CJD to hope one day there will be a cure. Every donation, no matter the size, helps the Network continue its vital work — offering guidance, funding research, and ensuring no family has to face this devastating disease alone.

Running this marathon isn’t just about the miles or the finish line. It’s about honouring a life that was full of love, compassion, joy and also to help raise money for others through the incredible work of the CJD Support Network.

Love you Lou.

Thankyou,
