💚 Running the London Marathon 2027 for Target Ovarian Cancer
In April 2027, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.
Ovarian cancer has affected generations of my family. My mum was diagnosed when I was just eight years old. Thankfully, she survived, but my grandmother and great-grandmother sadly lost their lives to the disease.
I also carry the BRCA1 gene mutation, which gives me a 78% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer. So, for me, this isn’t simply a family history; it’s something that makes the work of Target Ovarian Cancer particularly important to my own future.
I want to turn something that has brought so much uncertainty to my family into something positive. By fundraising, I hope to help raise awareness of the symptoms, improve early diagnosis and support research into better treatments, giving more people the chance of a future that might otherwise look very different.
I’m running for my mum, in memory of my grandmother and great-grandmother, and for everyone affected by ovarian cancer. Most importantly, I’m running for a future where fewer families have to face this disease and where a BRCA1 diagnosis doesn’t have to mean living in fear of what lies ahead.
Every donation brings us one step closer to that future. Any support, no matter how big or small, means so much. Thank you for being part of my journey. 💚
