Story

On 27 April 2025 I will be running the Manchester Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK.

CRUK is a charity I hold very close to me and I thought that the Manchester Marathon would be the perfect opportunity to raise as much money as possible for them.

In 2017, my Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, and more recently my Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thanks to research done by CRUK, there are treatments available to help people just like my Mum and Dad to allow them to live a full and healthy life.

The Manchester Marathon will be the perfect opportunity to give back to CRUK and help towards further life saving research so that more people can get the help they need when undergoing cancer treatment.

Any pennies you can spare will be going towards a fantastic cause.

Thank you so much - this one is for you Mum and Dad🤍🏃🏽‍♀️
