Hi, I’m Soyeon! 👋

I recently moved to the UK to pursue a career in arts management, and while I’m still settling in, I wanted to do something meaningful to contribute to the arts community. So, I’ve taken on a huge challenge—running the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025! That means 21km of running, tackling hills, and pushing through no matter the weather. 😵‍💨🏃‍♀️

I’m doing this to support Theatre Peckham, an incredible organization that provides young people from underrepresented backgrounds with access to arts education, training, and career opportunities. The arts can truly change lives, and I want to help ensure that more young talents get the support they need to thrive.

But this marathon isn’t just a physical challenge for me—it holds a much deeper meaning. It’s my first-ever marathon, my first major event in London, and a huge personal milestone. As someone still finding my place in this city, taking part in this event is also a way for me to feel a sense of belonging in my new home and start truly building my life here.

Here’s the catch: I need to hit my fundraising goal of £500 to officially take part in the race! Every single donation—even £3 or £5—will help me get there and make a real difference for these young artists.

And let me be honest—this is HARD. Training for my first marathon has been exhausting, and race day will be one of the toughest things I’ve ever done. That’s why I need all the encouragement I can get! Your support, whether through a donation or just cheering me on, means the world to me.

If you can, please consider supporting me and this incredible cause. Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement! 💙
