I’m running the London Marathon with Dogs Trust!
I’m running the 2026 London Marathon for Dog’s Trust — and I’d be incredibly grateful for your support.
After losing 6 stone in weight, I wanted to push myself with a new challenge — something bold, something that felt impossible. So, I set my sights on the London Marathon! I never dreamed I’d actually get a place, but here I am, lacing up my trainers and preparing for 44.2 kilometres.
I knew from the start that if I was going to do this, I wanted to run for a cause close to my heart. That’s why I chose Dog’s Trust. Anyone who knows me knows how much my late dog, Coco, meant to me. She was more than a pet — she was my best friend, my soulmate, my baby. This run is for her, and for all the dogs out there still waiting to find their forever homes.
Coco and I were perfectly in sync — lovers of sofa snuggles, allergic to the outdoors, and firmly against anything resembling a run. If she were still here, she’d definitely refuse to join me on my training runs — but I like to think she’d be proud (if slightly baffled) that I’m doing this in her honour.
The journey won’t be easy, but it will be worth it — and your support means the world. Every donation, big or small, helps Dog’s Trust continue their amazing work, giving dogs the second chances they deserve.
Thank you so much in advance — let’s #DoItForTheDogs 🐾
