Why I’m Running

I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025 to raise funds for Target Ovarian Cancer.

This isn’t just a statistic for me — ovarian cancer has touched people I love young and old, and it has taken lives far too soon. That’s why I’m taking on the challenge of the Royal Parks Half Marathon.

I’m especially excited to be running this race in my home city, through the stunning scenery and buzz of Hyde Park, the city's own green wilderness in the middle of London — a reminder of how lucky I am to be healthy and able to take this on.

I want to do my part to fund research, raise awareness, and make sure clinical services keep improving — so that everyone affected by ovarian cancer gets the care and support they deserve.

How Your Support Helps

Every pound raised will go directly towards life-saving early diagnosis, improving treatments, and supporting women and families living with ovarian cancer. My fundraising target is £400, and every donation, big or small, will make a real difference.

Be Part of the Change

If you can, please support my fundraising and help me cross the finish line — not just of the race, but in the fight against ovarian cancer. 🧡
