Lymphoma Action is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma, the most common blood cancer.

Story

In 2019, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, and just over 5 years ago I completed my treatment. It was the toughest period of my life, but it gave me a whole new outlook on health and resilience. Since then, I’ve worked hard to rebuild myself and, in March 2025, I started running.

Now, I’m taking on the challenge of my first ever marathon: the London Marathon 2026. For me, this is more than just 26.2 miles. It’s a celebration of how far I’ve come, a way of proving to myself what’s possible after cancer, and a chance to give something back.

I’m running for Lymphoma Action, a charity that supports people and families affected by lymphoma. Their work in raising awareness, providing support, and funding research makes a real difference to those facing the disease, and it means a lot to me to run in their name.

By donating, you’ll be helping Lymphoma Action continue their important work — and you’ll be part of my journey from cancer survivor to marathon finisher. Every pound will make a difference, and your support will mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for helping me take on this challenge! 💜
