On 4 April 2027, I’ll be taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon in memory of our little Chihuahua, Joey, who passed away on 20 April 2026 at the age of 15.

Joey wasn’t just a pet, he was family, a constant companion and a huge part of our lives. Losing him was incredibly difficult, and it made me realise just how deeply the loss of a much-loved pet can affect us.

That’s why I’ve decided to turn my grief into something positive.

I’ll be running 13.1 miles through the streets of London to raise money and awareness for two causes that mean a great deal to me: the USPCA, with a particular focus on recognising the impact of pet bereavement, and Epilepsy Action.

This challenge is about more than crossing a finish line. It’s about remembering Joey, helping other animals and the people who love them, raising awareness of pet loss and supporting people affected by epilepsy.

Every mile I train and every mile I run will be for Joey.

Whether you can donate, share this page or simply follow the journey, your support means so much.

13.1 miles. Two important causes. One very special little dog.

This is for you, Joey. ❤️
