My Story

When I was 6 weeks old I was diagnosed with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (A1AD), a type of liver disease that is a genetic disorder and lifelong. 

Luckily for me, it was caught super early which meant my parents were able to guide me properly & I knew what I should and shouldn’t do in order to be as healthy as possible, most people don’t find out until they have liver failure later on in life.

With the help of the Children's Liver Disease Foundation, my parents were able to understand my illness, find out how best to look after me & get support from other parents going through the same thing.

Their charity provides so much support for parents with children suffering from various liver diseases, as well as, helping children and young adults connect with others that understand what they’re living with – it can sometimes be quite lonely!

For this reason, any fundraising I do will always be for CLDF and I am so honoured that they have chosen me to represent them in the London Marathon 2023.
