I’m running the London Marathon 2027 in memory of my lovely mum
In 2015, I lost my lovely mum to mesothelioma, a devastating cancer that affects the lining of the lungs.
The following year, on the exact anniversary of her passing, I ran the Huddersfield Marathon in her memory and raised nearly £4,000 for charity. It was one of the hardest and most meaningful things I’ve ever done.
Since then, I haven’t run another marathon. But every year, I watch the London Marathon and find myself inspired by the incredible people taking on the challenge and the causes they support.
Now, ten years on from that first marathon, I’ve been given the opportunity to run the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK.
This challenge is about much more than crossing a finish line. It’s about honouring my mum’s memory, raising awareness of lung disease, and supporting a charity that helps people and families affected by lung conditions every day.
Training for 26.2 miles will be a huge challenge, but with your support, I hope to make a real difference.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help fund vital research, support services and campaigns to improve lung health across the UK.
Thank you for supporting me, supporting this fantastic charity, and helping me carry Mum’s memory with me every step of the way.💙
My Updates
Week 4 Update!
Sunday 4th OctI may not be fast, things might be a billion times harder than they used to be, and I definitely need some new wheels because my ankles and knees absolutely hate me… 😂
BUT yesterday, at the end of Week 4 of marathon training, I managed a 70-minute non-stop run for the first time in a decade! 🏃♀️❤️
A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support me and sponsor me. I’ve still got a massively long way to go, but everyone’s support and kind donations are genuinely keeping me going and pushing me along.
It’s literally all I can think about while I’m pounding the pavement — knowing that every mile is helping raise money for such an important cause makes all the aches, pains and ridiculously slow pace feel worth it! ❤️
Thank you so, so much for all your support. It really does mean the world to me. ❤️
First Run Done!
Tuesday 8th Sep
So today was Day 1 of marathon training and I did my first proper run in exactly 10 YEARS!!!!!
It was so hard, but I’m determined to see this through. My plan to get me running again and marathon fit runs right through to April next year!!!
I also have a LOT of fundraising to do, so if anybody would like to sponsor me and help me on this journey, it would be SO VERY appreciated. ❤️
100% of my fundraising goes to supporting Asthma + Lung UK and the fight against asbestos-related mesothelioma, in memory of my lovely Mum. ❤️
