Story
On April 6th 2025, I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK (or at least attempting to🤩🤸♂️).
I’m doing this for my grandma, Gaggy. She’s still here, but every day, we’re losing more of her. And it’s bloody brutal❤️.
Gags has always been full of life—the one making everyone laugh and always at the heart of everything. She’s taught me so much, and those lessons stay with me daily. But the energy, the personality, the spark that made her truly her are fading rapidly. And I miss her every single day.
Gags has now been fighting her Alzheimer's battle for almost five years. I cannot change what’s happening to Gags, but if we fund the research and push for breakthroughs, maybe one day other families won’t have to go through this—losing someone long before they’re actually gone.
So, in what felt like a fantastic idea at the time, I signed up for a half marathon. Naturally, I then proceeded to injure my back and am still recovering now. Isn't the timing just perfect! But what better way to raise money than by dragging myself around London for 13.1 miles?
It has been a while since I was on my running grind, so this is going to be difficult!! It's like starting from scratch all over again... but this cause means more than any amount of miles #TEAMARUK🧡🤍
If you can, please donate—let’s make this happen in our lifetime. Let's make every single mile worth it. And Gags, I know deep down that you know I love you, this is for you and your memory🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I will be posting updates in the lead up to the run, so please check my page out, as well as the new ARUK film below, and thank you in advance for reading this far and donating!!🥰👏
