Today is the London Marathon 🏃🏃🏽‍♀️🏃‍♂️

In memory of my amazing mum, Sandra, and for my sister Alannah, who is affected by FSHD Muscular Dystrophy … I’m going back to the start line… and this time with my brother in law Dave🧡

We’ve signed up to run the London Marathon 2027🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

We’ll be running for Muscular Dystrophy UK, through our family fund: Succeeding for Sandra 🧡

I had the privilege of running the marathon back in 2019 for MDUK, and it was one of the most emotional and meaningful things I’ve ever done. But the truth is, this doesn’t stop. Families like ours are still facing this, and the need for funding, research, and support is just as important now as it was then.

That’s why I’m coming back to do it all over again

To keep raising vital funds.
To keep awareness going.
To help push for better treatments and support for people like Alannah.

And this time, doing it alongside Dave makes it even more special—it’s for our family, and for a cause that means everything to us.
To keep mums memory alive - she wanted a cure for Alannah more than anyone

But we don’t want to do this alone!!

We’re calling on anyone who feels inspired to take on this challenge with us. Whether you’ve run before or this would be your first marathon, we’d love to build a team around this and take on 26.2 miles together for something that truly matters.

Here’s what’s involved:
• £100 registration fee
• Minimum fundraising target of £2,050
• A chance to make a real difference 🧡

We know it’s a big commitment—but it’s also an unforgettable journey, and you won’t be doing it on your own. We’ll support each other every step of the way from the running to the fundraising we are here to help and guide you.

If you’re interested, please drop us a message, comment below, or reach out privately if you’d like more details.

If your not interested please just give this post some love and share the post as it might reach someone who is interested 👏🏼

Let’s do something incredible together—for Mum, for Alannah, and for everyone affected by Muscular Dystrophy 🧡
