London Marathon 2026

I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!

I’m honoured to be able to run the London marathon again this year in memory of Felix. 

Last year we raised just over £2500 and would love to do the same again.

Every step is for him 💙




Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2026 for Asthma + Lung UK, the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.

Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!

London 2026

Sunday 26th Apr
Thankyou so much to each and every donation. Super grateful for all the love and support. All in memory of a very special little boy, Felix 💙 4:32 ✌🏻

Girls dont quit 💪🏼

Monday 13th Apr

28k ✅

Sunday 5th Apr
Longest run for this training session. Wanted 30k BUT could feel it was time to go home. Sometimes it’s better to listen to the body! 3 weeks to go! 😬

Friday funday

Friday 27th Mar
Proud of myself today, managed 25k, 23k without any pain but the last 2k in pain but that’s fine, feeling stronger each run 🫶🏻

15 miles ✔️

Friday 20th Mar
Wanted 16 miles but settled for 15 miles. Less tears and more self belief 💪🏼 Starting to get some tender toenails 🤪

Friday 13th! 15 miles through gritted teefs

Saturday 14th Mar
Unlucky for some… I got unlucky at mile 13. Knee went & the tears started - very frustrating, but the sun then came out & had an incredibly painful sports massage afterwards with my amazing physio/therapist 🫶🏻 💜

Hythe to Folkestone & Back - 13 miles

Friday 6th Mar
Tried out the beach run to see if it helped my knee - it did, no pain so the flat is good but beach running isn’t for me… bit boring 🥱 🤣

Morning run 🏃🏻‍♀️13 miles

Friday 27th Feb
Another half in the bag 🫶🏻

First half marathon for a while

Saturday 7th Feb
Felt a bit ropey at 18k but I won’t let me knee get the better of me 🥴

10 miles ✅

Monday 2nd Feb
Lost a lot of confidence in my running due to injury, but super proud of myself that I was able to do 10 miles on Friday - still feeling the weary legs today after a little 4 miles but onwards and upwards we go 💪🏼

Yes 🙌🏼

Friday 23rd Jan

Marathon Training

Saturday 3rd Jan
Last night I added to the diary my training logs & my long Friday runs. 
Looking forward to getting these legs moving again. 
I think it’ll definitely be harder this time around as I know how much work there is to do. But I know I can get it done. Raising money in memory of a special little boy 💙
