I am taking part in the Cambridge Half Marathon on Sunday 8th March 2026 to support Tom's Trust - the UK's leading charity dedicated to providing psychological support to children and young people with brain and CNS tumours and their families.

Around 500 children and young people are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year, that's around 10 a week. Many will experience serious mental health issues as a result of their tumour and 62% of those who survive will then live with life-long disabilities.

Supporting one child and their family costs over £3300 per year. The money raised by our team taking part in the Cambridge Half will support many more families.

Every mile we run, every pound you donate will be helping us to support another child and will enable us to change these young people's lives.

I am not a runner. This is my first half-marathon, so this will be a real challenge for me. I will be putting my knowledge of developing resilience into practice every step of the way. I am happy to run for those who can't, and to raise money for a wonderful cause.
