Story
Hi there! In March 2026, I will be taking part in the Lisbon Half Marathon, raising money for Bowel Research UK. Six years ago, I faced a life-changing moment when I was admitted to hospital, initially thinking it was appendicitis. A scan revealed a cancerous tumour on my bowel. After a major operation to remove half my colon and numerous CT scans, colonoscopies and blood tests later, I am now thankfully fully recovered and clear.
The journey to recovery was not easy, but one of the most significant factors that helped me both physically and mentally was taking up running and joining a running club. This experience inspired me to combine my passion for running with a cause that is close to my heart—Bowel Research
I am aiming to raise £500 for this incredible charity through my participation in the Lisbon half marathon. Your support can make a real difference in advancing research and providing hope for many individuals affected by these conditions.
