I’ve been keeping a little secret, well actually it’s quite a big one. I’m going to be running The Paris Marathon next April.

Oh my goodness, it all sounds a bit real now!

I’ve spent much of my working life as an Oncology nurse and have I’ve lost too many people close to me including my father and good friends to cancer.

More recently, my much loved and very much missed Mother in Law, Wendy to Ovarian Cancer.

On 13th April 2025, I’m running the Paris Marathon in Wendy’s honour, to raise funds and awareness for the Ovarian Cancer charity, Ovarian Cancer Action and the Blood Cancer charity, DKMS of which I’ve been an Ambassador for almost 6 years.

It won’t be easy, it’s been quite some time since I ran anywhere but I’m going to give it my best! That’s a promise xx

I’d love your support. Every penny donated, every conversation started to support my Mission is very much welcomed.

I have two fundraising pages, one for each charity Ovarian Cancer Action and DKMS, the blood cancer charity so any support would be amazing. Be sure to check out both pages for additional information on each charity.

You may know that over the last few of years, I’ve been taking part in little Missions to raise funds and awareness for the Blood Cancer charity DKMS. It all started with one crazy idea, if you’d like to find out more click here: I’ve comitted to raising at least £600 for DKMS with for this Marathon.

Please do follow me on Instagram to keep updated with what’s happening with the #roadtoparis Mission and more! If you are part of a corporate company or your friends, family and colleagues would like to get involved, I’d love to hear from them too.

Strava is where my training is uploaded (you’ll be able to see just how slow I am!)

Finally, if you’d like to join me on a training run or would like to chat about my Mission, I’d LOVE to hear from you.

Thank you…

…for not thinking I’m crazy and for your support. I am honestly so nervous about this one. hopefully, with a big dollop of grit and determination, I’ll be able to conquer the Paris Marathon and do Wendy and the charities proud.

Let me know in the comments what you think.

Love of love
