In 2020, my dad was diagnosed with a disease similar to blood cancer — a life-threatening condition that turned our world upside down. He was critically ill and spent time in a coma, and for a while, we didn’t know if he was going to make it. Seeing someone you love go through something so intense and terrifying changes you forever.

Thankfully, after a long and difficult fight, he pulled through. But I know many families aren’t so lucky. That’s why I’m running the London Half Marathon — to raise awareness and support for those affected by blood cancers and related conditions. The money raised will go towards life-saving research, better treatments, and support for patients and families going through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a future where more people survive, and fewer families have to endure what mine did. Thank you for your support — it truly means the world.
