My Story

I’m running the Cardiff Half Marathon 2025 as part of #TeamTenovus, not only to support those affected by cancer but also as a personal challenge for my own mental and physical health.

Over the past year, my mental health has taken a dip, and exercise has been the last thing on my mind. However, since switching to a plant-based diet, I’ve felt a real change in my happiness, and I know that getting back into exercise will help me even more. So, I’ve set myself this goal—to train for and complete my first-ever half marathon.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I recently lost my uncle, Dave, to cancer, and seeing my family go through it without the support they deserved made me realize how important charities like Tenovus Cancer Care are. The truth is, I didn’t know much about them at the time, but they could have helped us as a family. That’s why I want to raise awareness—so that more people know about the support available and no one has to face cancer alone.

I’m doing this for my uncle, my family, and for everyone who has lost a loved one or is currently facing this battle. I’ll be training weekly and sharing my journey—both in running and in plant-based living—on this page & Instagram. My instagram is @plntd_mvmnt
