As most of you will know, my husband Richard passed away in Feb 2025 from oesophageal cancer. He spent his last couple of days being cared for by Garden house hospice. The girls and I are forever in their debt, so to support them, and show that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it, I am running the Flawed Hero Marathon 2026. The Flawed Hero Marathon is more than a race, it’s a chance to move through the dark and come out the other side changed. When the clock strikes midnight between the 25th & 26th April, I’ll join 300 others in Letchworth to take on 26.2 miles. Not to chase a finish time, (as I am actually not supposed to run more than 5km, according to my Consultant) but to show up as I am, move with purpose, and support something that matters. The Flawed Hero Movement is rooted in connection and compassion. It’s about creating a space where you don’t have to fix yourself to be worthy. Where movement means healing, and community means everything. I’m raising funds as part of this journey, for causes close to my heart. Your support, in any form, helps remind people that they’re not alone, and they are enough. I’m showing up for that message. Thank you for standing with me. Funds will be distributed through GoFundMe.org.uk.
