Story
In 2026, I’m taking on two huge challenges to raise money for Trekstock — a charity that supports young adults living with cancer.
I’ll be running the London Marathon in April (as fast as I can), and the 100km Race to the Stones in July (definitely not as fast). It’s going to hurt, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by young people living with cancer.
Trekstock does incredible work to support people in their 20s and 30s navigating life during and after cancer — a time when support can be hard to find. I’ve done a few races before, but this is the first time I’m putting my legs to work for charity, and I couldn’t think of a more worthy cause.
The miles, early starts, aches and pains will be worth it — but having your support would mean everything. If you can donate, share, or just cheer me on, it would make a massive difference. Let’s do this!
More about Trekstock
We are redefining what life alongside cancer looks like for people in their 20s and 30s. Facing the curveball of cancer when you're just figuring out life means living unlikely parallels. The 14,600 diagnosed every year are too old for childhood services and the youngest on adult wards by decades. The impact? They're left without support recognising their unique needs, leaving them lost and isolated.
We're the only charity in the UK that helps this group navigate life through and beyond an experience that doesn’t stop when treatment ends. Our range of support services and resources help our community get informed, get connected, get active and get heard. From exercise to friendships, sex to nutrition - we're here for it all.
