Why I'm fundraising...

Three years ago, I faced my own battle with ovarian cancer. I had one ovary removed, along with the eggs it carried. After surgery, I completed two rounds of egg freezing: something that gave me hope for the future.

My cancer was found early, and I know how lucky that makes me - early detection quite literally saved my life. But too many others aren’t diagnosed until it’s too late.

On 19th October, I’ll be taking part in Ovar-Dressed London in Regent’s Park, where I’ll be ‘overdressed’ whilst attempting to complete a 10k - all to raise awareness and funds for Target Ovarian Cancer.

I’ll be participating whilst wearing giant fried egg costume - in honour of my lost ovary and the eggs I had to say goodbye to. It’s a silly outfit for a serious cause, and I hope it makes people smile, ask questions, and most importantly, start conversations about ovarian cancer.

Target Ovarian Cancer is the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity. They focus on what really matters: symptoms awareness, life-saving early diagnosis, better treatments, and crucial support for everyone affected.

Every step I take and every laugh my costume gets will be for those currently fighting, for those we’ve lost, and for everyone whose life has been touched by this disease.

 Let’s raise awareness, spark conversations, and save lives.

Please donate if you can, and if not, a share or word of support means just as much. Together, we can transform the future for everyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

First Park Run & Training updates

Saturday 27th Sep
Okay… so I am not a natural runner, that’s for sure. In fact I’ve always hated it.
With that said, this goal has given me an incentive, and I’m actually enjoying the process! I’ve been going to the gym 3 times a week for the last 5 weeks, making sure I’m getting some good practice on the treadmill. I ran my first 2k without stopping which was a big achievement… and I was surprised it only took me 15 mins. 
I’m getting in some weight training too and have noticed some definition on my biceps and shoulders.
I’m aiming to walk at least 7,000 steps a day, with most days getting in over 10k. I did have a little fall this week at a bus stop, and managed to gouge a big chunk out of my hand and bruise my knee… completely unrelated to running… just clumsy 😂 but I still carried on with the training immediately after having some first aid from the gym staff. 
And got a PB with a run!
My calves have been a bit achey this week, but feel better today. 

This morning I ran my first park run, with my little brother by my side, and my dad cheering me on. 
I ran 5k in 33.23mins, which I am so proud of! I did find it hard and it definitely has shown I need to keep training over the next few weeks, but it was my first time running a 5k!

My egg costume is due to be delivered today - so I’m going to have some practice runs in that… I’ll make sure the pictures follow!

Thanks to everyone who has donated, I am so grateful and appreciative of every pound, and didn’t expect to exceed my target! 

Will keep you updated over the next few weeks of my progress! 

3 weeks to go!
