Why I’m fundraising...
I’m taking part in the London Marathon 2026 on Sun 26 Apr to raise funds and awareness in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer. My beautiful Mum died from Ovarian Cancer in 2018, just 10 months after being diagnosed. The charity target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives – that means symptoms awareness, life-saving early diagnosis, better treatments and support for everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
Please support my fundraising, and together we’ll transform the future for everyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
My Updates
Training Week 3 Complete
Sunday 15th Feb I finished this week with a 9 mile run this morning, which should have been 10 miles but I managed to mess it up somehow 🤯. This brought my weekly total to 23 miles. The runs have been hard this week and I only managed one judo session because I picked up a virus. Hopefully next week will be stronger. Thank you for your support 😊💛 Share
Training Week 2 Complete
Sunday 8th Feb I finished week 2 with an 8 mile run today, a weekly total of 20 miles. This morning my route took me past my Mum’s bench twice, a reminder of why I am doing this. Yoga tonight and rest day tomorrow because my legs are definitely feeling it now. Thank you so much for your donations 😊💛 Share
Training Week 1 Complete
Tuesday 3rd Feb I finished my first week of marathon training on Sunday with 6 miles, bringing my total miles for the week to 17. My legs are definitely feeling it but my appetite has increased slightly and my sleep is improving 💪 🏃🏼♀️ thank you for your donations 😊💛 Share
Training Week 1
Wednesday 28th Jan After fighting in France on Sat I took Sun to rest and braved my first 3 miles on Mon. I did 5 miles yesterday (Tues) and a light technical judo session last night. Not afraid to say my body feels like it’s been hit by a bus! 😫 Rest day & some yoga today. Thank you so much for your donations 😊💛 ShareThank you to my Sponsors
