In August, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer - something I never imagined I’d be facing. It’s been a challenging few months, but I’ve been incredibly grateful for the support and information from the British Thyroid Foundation, who help so many people affected by thyroid conditions.

Exercise has always been my happy place, so taking on the Bath Half Marathon next year feels especially meaningful. It’s my way of showing what’s possible after a diagnosis like this. Having completed the Bath Half before, this time will be a bigger challenge after surgery and ongoing treatment — but it’s my way of turning something difficult into something positive.

Every donation means so much and will help others going through similar journeys. Thank you for your support 💜
