Cancer is relentess. But so are we. 

15th February 2026

We did it and I am so proud of my boys! 💙💙 Lewis had an ankle injury and George has POTS and a knee injury but they both did amazingly! 👊

I was in quite a bit of pain with my foot, soaking wet, cold, very emotional, and it wasn't quite the time I was hoping for, but at least I got through that finish line! 💪

Lewis completed it in 54 mins
George completed it in 1 hr 19 mins
Simon completed it in 1 hr 28 mins 
I completed it in 1hr 47 mins

It's still not too late to donate to our fundraising page! 🙏 Thank you so so much to everyone who has donated - your support has meant the world! 🌎

The doctor has given me the green light to take part in the London 10k Winter Run this Sunday!!! 😁 I am, under no circumstances, allowed to run it but I can walk it!!! Bring.it.on!!! 😂

Any donations would be gratefully received! 🫶

7th February 2026

I had an ultrasound today on my heel and it's not looking great! 😫 It was confirmed I have plantar fasciitis ... but I also have achilles tendon damage too! My right foot really doesn't like me! 😂 To run the 10k next week the sonographer reckons is risky but I'm going to book an appointment with my doctor to see what he says! People who know me well know I will power through the pain 💪 but I don't want to do any permanent damage! Hopefully, if he says I can't run it, he'll say I can walk it ... fast! 😂 Keep your fingers crossed for me! 🤞

Whatever the outcome is for me, my beautiful boys Lewis and George, my gorgeous friend Jai, and Simon are all running it too! So if you can spare a few pennies for a worthwhile cause it would be so much appreciated! 🙏

1st February 2026

It's 2 weeks until our run and I'm getting nervous now! Like, really nervous! But the reason behind why I am doing this and all of you who have been supporting us, either with your kind words, your donations or both, is what is keeping me going! Thank you! 🫶

18th January 2026

It's 4 weeks until race day! I'm still trying to rest my foot as much as possible but doing other low impact things to try and keep up my fitness! If you could please spare a few pennies, your support would mean the world! 🌎

6th January 2026

I'm now suffering from plantar fasciitis! 🤦‍♀️ Getting a bit disheartened with these injuries! 😔 I'm in alot of pain and it's really holding me back with my training! 🏃‍♀️ But even if I'm still suffering on race day I will soldier through and crawl to the finish line if I have to! 🤣 I've booked an appointment with a physio today in the hopes she can help! 🤞

4th January 2026

It's 6 weeks until our run and it's getting real now!!! 😱 Please read our story and if you can sponsor us, we would really appreciate it! 🙏

31st December 2025

To be fair I'm happy to see the back of 2025. It's not been an easy year but on a positive note mum goes into 2026 completely cancer free. Wishing everyone a happy, and more importantly, healthy New Year.

21st November 2025

Just got back from my second walk of the day! Needed to get out and clear my head! Wasn't as cold as it was this morning at 7.30am though - my thighs took ages to thaw out!! ❄️😂

17th November 2025

So after 2 weeks "rest" (well, a rest from running at least) following an injury, I'm back!!! I don't want to overdo it so I took it easy this morning with a 5k fast walk!

1st November 2025

Really struggled with my run yesterday! 😞 Not only was the weather atrocious - I was that soaked through, I may as well have just stood under a shower for half an hour 😂 - I also had an injury to my foot, which I ran on 😳, that I now regret, as I'm now having trouble even walking!!! 😬

6th October 2025

This song has just come on my playlist - Dean Lewis, How Do I Say Goodbye. It hadn't been out long when dad was diagnosed and I kept finding myself playing it! 😢 Life felt very cruel. Dad was suffering with lung cancer, they think asbestos may have been the cause, and he was given months to live. But thanks to Cancer Research, immunotherapy gave him a lifeline. A couple of his friends, years earlier, unfortunately didn't have the same chance! 💔 Cancer Research is vital. If you can, please donate, every little helps!

21st September 2025

Jai and I had the pleasure of being accompanied this morning on our run by our boys - Big Alf and Little Alf! 💙💙

My Alfie wanted to enter the 10k Winter Run with us, but was too young. So he wants to do his bit to show his support by coming on as many runs with me as he can. He suffers with asthma so doesn't find running easy at all! 🥰

Jai's Alfie is an incredible young man. He has a fountain of knowledge when it comes to running and fitness and has completed numerous runs himself, so was the perfect person to give us some tips!! Thank you Alf! 🫶

14th September 2025

Another run completed this morning! 🙌 Lewis and George - you never know, at this rate I may even give you boys a run for your money on 15th Feb .... you remember the story of the hare and the tortoise!!?? 😂

12th September 2025

I did my first training session yesterday, with Jai right by my side, and I have awoken muscles in places I'd forgotten I even had muscles! 😬 Let's just say work was a challenge this morning! 😂 I enjoyed it though and I'll be looking forward to doing my next one sometime over the weekend! 🏃‍♀️

Introduction

After speaking to my friend Jai from Seasons in Thyme Catering and hearing that she was signing up for the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 10k, I decided to sign up for it too, even though I can’t run to catch a bus, lol!

At first, I didn’t know what had possessed me, well, that’s a lie, I knew exactly why I did – for my mum and dad!

The last three years for our family have been a living nightmare. Back in December 2022, we were told that dad had stage 4 lung cancer and he only had months to live. Chemotherapy wasn’t an option, radiotherapy was taken off the table because his tumour was too big, and so immunotherapy was offered to him. I’d never heard of immunotherapy – it basically works by helping the body recognise and destroy cancer cells. After finding out about the side effects my dad was unsure whether he wanted it. Thankfully, he decided to give it a go, and I thank God every day that he did. Without it he wouldn't be here. His tumour has shrunk from 11cm x 9cm and was last measured at 4.1cm x 1.4cm and is now classed as dead cancer cells.

As my dad was coming to the end of his treatment, my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in December 2024. She had to undergo a course of chemotherapy before she could have an operation. So, on my birthday this year, mum had her first treatment and dad had his last. Her body unfortunately didn’t tolerate chemotherapy very well, so her course was cut short. Mum then underwent bowel surgery in July 2025 to remove the remaining cancer. Luckily, surgery went well and although she didn’t have the full course of chemotherapy, it worked, and she is now cancer-free!

They have both been so brave, and they inspire me every day, and now it is my turn to be brave!

I am in awe of them, and I am doing this in their honour and for a dear friend of mine, who is still fighting her battle like so many – I pray for her every day!

My wonderful family have also signed up to run this challenge, Simon, Lewis and George. My beautiful friend Jai, who has been an incredible support to me, will be by my side training hard, so hopefully we do not embarrass ourselves too much on the day with our time, lol!

In addition to this being a huge personal goal for us, we aim to raise as much money as possible for this amazing cause, helping many more people in the future. So, if you can, please please donate – every penny counts!! Our thoughts go out to everyone who is affected by Cancer! Together, we will make a difference! Thank you!
