Story

As you know I lost my best friend Rachel to cancer in March 2024. She spent her final days at St Catherine's Hospice and I will be forever indebted to them and how they cared for Rach and her family.

On Sunday 27th April 2025, I will be running the London Marathon in her memory. She would think I'm totally crazy for pounding the streets of London in her name but I think secretly she would be a little bit chuffed. I'm not a 'runner' ...far from it! This will be the biggest challenge I've ever faced but I'm determined to do it for her and for those amazing staff at St Catherine's.

I know it's a tough time financially for a lot of people which is why it's even more important to raise money for this amazing charity.

It'll totally be worth losing some toenails over 😁❤️
