Olivia's fundraiser for Beatson Cancer Charity

EMF Half Marathon 2026 · 24 May 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Beatson Cancer Charity supports people affected by cancer, every step of the way. We make the journey easier by transforming the way cancer care is funded and delivered. We provide services, as well as funding specialists, research and education to invest in a better future for cancer patients.

Story

In September 2025, my younger sister Brooke was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 20 years old.

From the moment we walked through the doors of The Beatson, we were met with incredible care, compassion and support. The nurses, doctors and volunteers have been nothing short of amazing, not just to Brooke, but to our whole family.

As a family, we have felt truly supported every step of the way. The Beatson has been a place of reassurance, strength and kindness during a time we will never forget.

I’m running the Edinburgh Half Marathon to give back in any way I can and to support the vital work they do for patients and families across Scotland.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much to us. Thank you for supporting both my run and this incredible charity 💛
