Tora’s resilience, courage, and determination inspire me every single day. No matter what obstacles come her way, she faces them head-on with a strength that leaves me in awe. Lately, she has been working incredibly hard at school, pushing herself to achieve more despite how tough things have been - and now, I want to do the same.

To honour her unwavering spirit, I’ve signed up for the SuperHalfs challenge—a series of six iconic half marathons across Europe—kicking off with the Lisbon Half Marathon. Then Copenhagen, Valencia, Berlin, Prague and Cardiff.

Every mile I run is for The Nerve Tumours Charity, which funds Helen, Tora’s specialist nurse. Helen has been a lifeline—not just for Tora, but for our whole family and her school, providing the guidance, care, and support that make an immeasurable difference.

Now, it’s my turn to step up. I want to push beyond my limits and raise as much as possible for this incredible cause. Every pound you donate will help families like ours get the support they so desperately need. Please give what you can, and let’s make a difference together.
