I unfortunately lost my grandad to cancer at the end of April whilst being at the other side of the world. This was super sudden and in all honesty, really did break me.

Losing someone so very special to me whilst having no family members to grieve with had a huge impact on my mental health.

After not being able to attend the funeral, I’ve always felt like I’ve never had full closure, therefore I wanted to do something special to hopefully help with that.

My grandad had 9 amazing grandkids and 1 extra amazing one (me hehe) therefore I want to celebrate his life by raising money for kids to do something special before they unfortunately lose theirs over Christmas.

To mark the start of the Christmas Celebrations I will run 7 half marathons in 7 days, alongside my full time teaching job.

I will run these on 1st Dec- 7th Dec raising money for make a wish, a charity which supports kids with life threatening illness’ to do something special.

My grandad was the very best and did so much for all his Kids & Grandkids - I feel he would love knowing I was doing something special for other young people.

Running 7 half marathons in 7 days is very scary to me, but it’s nothing that young people with cancer face on the daily.

I appreciate any support / donations
