Story

On the 9th September 2021 I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes at the age of 32.

Thankfully, after 12 rounds of chemotherapy finishing in March 2022, I was able to walk away in remission, and in a position to kickstart my life again.

Since then, I've targeted becoming what can *only* be described as part of a very elite club... to run all six of the world major marathons after recovering from cancer.

I am now two thirds of the way there - Chicago 2022, London 2023 and New York 2023, with Berlin completed in September 2024.

Tokyo and Boston next... just as soon as I can secure a place!
