Hi, I’m Jackie, a proud mother of two, community builder, and long-distance runner who’s fallen in love with the power of showing up for myself. I’m running the 2025 London Marathon to raise funds for Black Girls Do Run UK, a community that’s been instrumental in my journey—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Running has helped me reconnect with my body, manage stress, and find joy in movement. But more than that, it's given me sisterhood. Being part of a group where Black women lace up, hit the pavement, and uplift each other has been life-changing.

This marathon is about pushing boundaries and being visible in spaces where we’re often underrepresented. I’m running for all the women who’ve been told they don’t belong, who are reclaiming wellness on their own terms.

If you can, please support my journey. Every donation helps Black Girls Do Run UK continue their incredible work to empower more women like me.
