My Story

I will be running the 2024 London Marathon to raise money for Action on Pre-eclampsia (APEC). Pre-eclampsia is a condition that develops during pregnancy or the postpartum period. It can cause complications in around 4% of UK pregnancies and is one of the main causes of maternal deaths worldwide.

APEC aims to raise public and professional awareness of pre-eclampsia, improve care, and ease or prevent physical and emotional suffering caused by the disease. They do this by providing information and support to members of the public who are affected by pre-eclampsia and support research into finding a cure. You can find more information on their work here:

Running the London Marathon has been something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I'm very excited for the next few weeks of training and the event on Sunday 21st of April. I will be very grateful for all donations, and they will be going to an important cause, so please give what you can.
