Story

After months of healing, recovery, and regaining fitness, here we are again.

When I fractured my left patella in a cycling crash in June 2024 and had to have surgery to screw it back together, I really had doubts as to if I’d be doing this.

I had to defer my marathon place for 2025 to 2026 because my knee just wasn’t ready for it yet.

It is going to be a struggle but I will not miss this once in a lifetime event!

Being a type 1 diabetic also had a big impact on my recovery, and going from being a very active person to not moving for 3 months took its toll on me mentally and physically.

We go again in 2026 👌🏻

I am once again running to fundraise for Diabetes UK, to spread awareness and help others with this medical condition.

The London marathon is something I have dreamed of taking part in for many years, and I can’t wait to get out there and give it my best!
