Hello,

If you know me, you’ll know I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve actively avoided it my entire life!

But on the 9th of November , I’ll be taking on my first ever half marathon — not because I love running (far from it!), but because there’s something far more important driving me forward.

My dad has recently been diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer. It’s a sentence I never imagined writing. Prostate Cancer UK is now a cause that sits very close to my heart, and I’m determined to do something — however small — to help support their vital work in treatment, research, and support for families like mine.

So here I am, lacing up my trainers and attempting something I never thought I would. Every mile will be tough, but nothing compared to what so many men and their families are facing right now.

If you’re able to donate — whether it’s a little or a lot , I would be so grateful. Your support will not only help fund life-saving work, but it will also carry me through when I’m questioning why on earth I signed up for 13.1 miles!
