Story

This challenge is very close to our hearts.

Earlier this year, my sister was diagnosed with bowel cancer. After a tough and frightening journey, she has thankfully come through the other side, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care, treatment and support she received.

To raise money and awareness for bowel cancer, I’m taking on a slightly mad challenge: running 5km every single day for two months — and running each one with a different person. Some runs will be fast, some will be chatty, some will be painful… and some will involve serious questioning of my life choices. But every step is for an important cause.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it really will make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this page, cheer me on, or even better — volunteer to run a 5k with me and witness the suffering first-hand 😉

Thank you so much for your support — it honestly means the world..
