As you may be aware I’m running my first half marathon in February 2025. I’ve been contemplating for a while what to raise money for. I’ve previously done a sky dive for breast cancer for my grandmas, and ran 50 miles in Jan for Maggies Cancer Centres along with a range of other things for charity.

Now I’m always willing to support a charity but what I’m facing at the moment is my main focus and motivation. My mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma (skin cancer) in Jan 2020. We’ve made it so far, and whilst we’re still fighting this as a family the future isn’t promised. So I’ve decided to raise funds to contribute towards taking my mum and my children away somewhere to continue to create some amazing memories. My mum often taken the kids away but we’ve never been together so I’d love to be able to do this and create memories that me and the kids can talk about forever.

My children don’t fully understand the situation and it’s a difficult conversation we’ll be having with them soon. They love their Nannie all the world and I’d love for them to be able to say they are taking her away this time and not the other way round
