I'm fundraising for Claire

I am running the Robin Hood Half Marathon on the 27.9.26 in honour of my amazing friend Claire, who sadly passed away on 25.11.25 after suffering a brain aneurysm and then a stroke.

I met Claire at Nottingham University and very quickly realised how kind, organised, and funny she was. I have the most wonderful memories of her, from going to indie discos to hearing The Stone Roses playing from her room, and the Grundy Street girls pulling together to help her finish her dissertation the night before it was due. My most precious memory will always be her giggle—it will forever make me smile.

As a friend, it was so special to see Claire find such happiness with Si, and the love they shared for their beautiful little girl, Rosie. They were such a close and loving trio, a family anyone would aspire to be like.

It was a stroke that sadly took Claire’s life, so I want to run this half marathon to raise as much money as possible for the Stroke Association. They fund vital research into prevention and rehabilitation, and support people in rebuilding their lives after a stroke.

Thank you so much for reading and for any support you can give.
