Story

Towards the end of 2017, I lost my weird & wonderful dad to leukaemia.

On the first anniversary, I ran the Royal Parks Half marathon to raise money for CureLeukaemia & on the (almost) 5th anniversary, I'm giving it another go!

Most people that know me know that I love running, but after doing it for 11 years, I'm still not very good at it, so every penny & every pound will help me push on.

In just under two months time, I will be running 21k for the first time in about 3 years, so in the meantime, if anyone sees me with crisps, chocolate or any other bad stuff, please take it out of my hands, kick me in the shins & tell me to Run Fat Girl, Run...Again!

Cure Leukaemia helps blood cancer patients to access pioneering drug and transplant treatments by funding a network of specialist research nurses across the UK. Without these nurses, to ensure patients are monitored and cared for, clinical trials of these new treatments would not run and patients, that have exhausted standard treatment options, would miss out on potentially lifesaving therapies. Every penny raised for Cure Leukaemia helps save lives and also hastens global progress towards the eradication of all forms of blood cancer.
