Story

I have decided to run my first ever marathon, The Great Welsh Marathon, on Sunday 8th March 2026.

I will be running 26 miles (42km), to raise awareness about dementia and to raise essential funds for Dartmouth Caring, the charity I work for that supports people living with the condition.

This marathon is a challenge that means so much to me. My Gran lived with dementia, and today I support those affected by it through my work.

Every mile I run is for people living with dementia, their families, and the incredible carers who support them. I want to help raise awareness and make a positive difference in any way I can. Thank you so much for your support and for every donation
