Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This July, I am running 100 kilometres to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

I am doing it in memory of my mum, Tessa John, who died from cancer in June 2016, when I was just 5 years old. She was just 37 years old.

I miss her more than words can say.

This challenge is our way of honouring her memory and raising money for cancer research so that in the future, other families might be spared the pain of losing someone they love.

I'll be running throughout July — whatever the weather — and would be so grateful if you would consider supporting me. Every pound helps, and all donations go directly to Cancer Research UK.

Thank you for reading my story and for helping me make a difference.
