In 2024, I ran an ultra-marathon to raise funds for the Orange Foundation, a charity supporting people living with cancer, founded by a friend in memory of his late wife. With just three months to prepare, I committed fully to training, hiring a coach and dedicating countless hours to getting my body ready. The event took place on one of the hottest days on record — over 30°C — making it even more challenging. I completed the 50 miles in 10.5 hours, raising over £5,000 in the process.
