My story

In 2023, I started my running journey with couch to 5km, never imagining how far it would take me. Since then, running has become a huge part of my life, so much so that last year I took on the challenge of completing the Manchester Marathon.

Ever since crossing the finish line, I've had my sights set on a new goal; running the main six World Major Marathons. Taking on the London Marathon is the next step toward making that goal a reality, and I'm incredibly excited to be running through the Peninsula Group to support one of our partner charity's, DEBRA UK. 

DEBRA UK are the UK’s national charity for people affected by epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare and extremely painful genetic skin condition that causes the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch. The charity provides vital support to individuals and families affected by EB, while funding research to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure. 

I'm proud to be taking on this challenge for such an important cause. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help DEBRA UK continue its incredible work and make a real difference to the lives of people affected by EB. 

Thank you so much for your support - it means the world! <3
