Story

2024

It's been a tough start to the year and I have lost my fitness but I've got 6 weeks before I take part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on my birthday.

So grateful for any support you can give to Evelina. Come and join us for the celebrations at our cheer crowds! Would love to see there, we have pom poms and good vibes for everyone to enjoy, let me know if you want to join us on the day 😊

2023

To celebrate the NHS turning 75, I am taking on a year's worth of challenges for Guy's and St Thomas' Trust raising awareness and money for Evelina Children's charity because my family and friends have received incredible care here. I will be:

- Running London Marathon (26.2) and Cycling (100 miles)

Why?

Each year Evelina London can send a team of Kidney transplant patients known as Evelina VIPS (very important Penguins) referring to the hospitals Urology and Kidney department, to compete at the British transplant games, thanks to the generous charity support. The incredible event marks a return to fitness for so many children and provides important peer and family support.

A transplant is not a cure, it's lifelong treatment and the children will be regularly attending the hospital for the rest of their lives. The goal is for children to feel supported and encouraged to reach their full potential, overcoming obstacles such as long term illness, multiple hospital admissions and operations.

By donating to my page, you can help send them to the games.

🧡💛💚💙

Your support makes a huge difference and means the world to me. Thank you for continuing to support me through my crazy challenges!
