As one of the least sporty persons, unable to run even a kilometre during the school years, never would I have imagined that I would be running any races, let alone a marathon. However, after successfully entering the ballot for London Marathon, here I am!

I would like to use this as an opportunity to raise awareness about animal testing and some funds towards kinder science.

"Advancing humanity shouldn’t cost us our moral compass. Longevity for one species shouldn’t equal the suffering of another. Support Animal Free Research UK and you can change an animal’s life for the better.

Every penny raised can help remove the cages holding defenceless animals. You can help free science from the outdated belief that killing animals is a necessary part of medical research."
