Story

Tuesday 28th April

WOW! What an incredible day. And I did it. Despite injury I am incredibly proud to say I crossed the finish line in 4:01:52. Slightly disappointed that I was unable to achieve a sub 4 hour time however I am SO HAPPY. Thank you so much to all of you for donating and for all your support. In just 8 days I have surpassed my fundraising target and I am truly humbled. 

IT IS ABSOLUTELY MY biggest achievement to date! And whilst I am feeling the effects of muscle soreness now it was completely 100% worth it. 

Thank you so much again ON BEHALF OF CANCER RESEARCH UK! 

LOTS OF LOVE XXX


Monday 20th April

So it was touch and go BUT the knee strapping is off and with just 6 days to go the LONDON MARATHON is back on...!!!

Training has been up and down and due to a slight injury I wasn't quite been able to reach my 20 mile target however I am more determined than ever to still run and your support will certainly help me run/walk/limp or crawl across that finish line. 

This is undoubtedly going to be my biggest achievement to date and I couldn't be prouder to represent Cancer Research UK.

As many of you may know Cancer Research UK are the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. They have saved millions of lives by discovering new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and thanks to their continual research the survival rate of Cancer patients has doubled over the past 40 years.

Every day in the UK there are more than 400 people diagnosed with cancer that will survive the disease for more than 10 years thanks to research. And what makes it even more incredible is that All their life-saving work relies on the donations they receive. 

With 1 in 2 of us in the UK likely to be diagnosed with cancer in our lives the need for research is more necessary than ever.

I will be SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for any donation big or small, as well as helping me cross the finish line, you will making a difference to so many lives. 

TOGETHER WE CAN BEAT CANCER SOONER.

And on behalf of CRUK and myself, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
