I have decided to take on the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2023 and I’ll be running for Cancer Research UK! :)

A little background about myself… back in around December 2021, I was probably the most unfit I’ve ever been, and my self-confidence was at its worst.

It’s nearly been a year since I started to pick myself back up by going to the gym and eating healthier and I now feel the fittest I’ve ever felt! One of the things I realised I loved the most while training is running. I was thinking about doing a marathon for a while but was just too scared to enter. I just didn't think I would be able to do it. After some extra encouragement from my gym pal and awesome PT, Lauren - I finally signed up to run in the Edinburgh Marathon in May this year.

It's a great challenge to prove to myself that I can do it. However, the main reason I'll be running is to raise as much money as I can for a really special charity and it will push me to do the best that I possibly can.

As I have grown older, it’s scary how many people I know, including my own family and friends who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. I have seen how it not only affects the person with the disease, but also their loved ones and it's heartbreaking.  

We need to do whatever we can to help.

Your donations will really make a difference. No matter how much you donate. Your money will help go towards ground breaking research. And thanks to that research, cancer survival is actually improving and has doubled over the past 40 years in the U.K. 

However, we NEED to do more. Your donations are helping the charity accelerate progress towards their ambition to see 3 in 4 cancer patients surviving by 2034.

Your donations will go towards vital programmes that are helping them make more important discoveries and develop new treatments that will save more lives.

I am aiming to raise as much money as I can and I would be so grateful to anyone who can help me do so. I know that we are living in really tough times right now…if you can’t donate then that’s absolutely fine! However, if you are able to donate, then anything at all will be a MASSIVE help and I’ll do my best to pass that finish line! 😁

Thank you so much!
