If you’d asked me 8 months ago whether I’d be running a half marathon this year — or any year for that matter — I’d have laughed at you! 😂

I started running in March 2026, after becoming a new mum and trying lots of different things to help me feel like myself again. I never imagined that just 6 months later, I’d be taking on the huge challenge of running a half marathon! 🏃‍♀️

As a child, I was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, a heart condition which I lived with for many years, before having surgery to correct.

I’m raising money for the British Heart Foundation because of the amazing work they do, but also in memory of those in my own family who have been affected by heart conditions — My husband Dan, Nan and Grandad, and for my Father-in-law who sadly passed away in 2022.

This is a huge challenge for me, but knowing I’m doing it for such an important cause makes every training run, every difficult mile and every bit of hard work completely worth it.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every pound will help me reach my target and support the amazing work of the British Heart Foundation.

Thank you so much for your support — now I just need to make it to that finish line! ❤️🏃‍♀️
