THE YOUNGEST PERSON AND FIRST UNDER 18 TO RUN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE UK🫡 £111,000 Raised for @mindcharity 1347KM Ran (837 miles) 1 car crash and 2 of the most difficult but greatest months of my life. I’m an emotional mess tonight but I just want to say, no matter how dark a place you are in. It can and WILL get better. 2 years ago I was in the darkest place in my life, 2 years later we have made history. Thank you to everyone who believed in me. I love you all very much. I’ll do a post when I’m able to process what’s just happened. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ❤️

The most nervous speech I’ve ever done but one that will live with me forever. I’m not posting this video for likes, views or follows. I just hope this video reaches someone who may need it. We will get through this battle together, mental health matters ❤️

Just finished watching the Pride of Britain Awards 2025. I am lost for words and don’t really know what to post here but thank you so much for the support. Greatest night of my life £50,000 raised that night for 20 @mindcharity running/walking groups all over the UK called Marcus’s movers. That is genuinely a dream come true and something I will take with me for the rest of my life. I don’t think it really set with me what happened until I got home. Never did imagine all those months ago when I went for a walk that all of this would have happened. We will always still have bad days but I promise you, no matter what you’re going through. Hang in there, it will get better- I promise. Over the last few weeks my dad has been massively deteriorating and we didn’t think he’d make it to the night. As a family we made the hardest decision of our lives that in the next couple of weeks my dad will be moved into a home, so he has 24 hour care to keep an eye on him. So the awards was like one last dance with my old man. I love you dad Tonight was emotional, rewatching everyone’s stories and it showed me how great people can be in life. Those people are true heroes of our country and it was an honour to share that night with them. Mental health matters, we keep stomping, smiling and talking ❤️

The greatest surprise ❤️@AnneMarie @SamThompsonUK Pete Wicks. Thank you for presenting me the award last night. What each of these 3 have done for speaking about mental health is truly inspiring. Don’t often get star struck but when Anne-Marie came on the stage I’ll be honest I was shaking a bit. Been supporting her since I saw her in Newcastle back in 2018. Got some exciting news to announce in next few days but cannot wait to see Sam and Pete again soon. Love them to bits and I’ve only known them a day 😭

Bucket list moment meeting these legends last night. Thank you for making this possible ❤️

PRIDE OF BRITAIN 2025 WINNER ❤️ Well the news is out, last night i won a pride of Britain award. Truly the best night of my life, getting to meet some incredible people and hear many inspirational stories. Alongside a few magical moments that I’ll share later on. There’s so many people who deserve a thank you including yourselves who have made this possible but no amount of words could express how grateful I am to win this. Although none of us do this for an award, I’m humbled by the support and love. 2 years ago I attempted not to be here anymore, 2 years later last night happened. Everyone’s tunnel is different, some peoples are long dark and have speed bumps but every tunnel ends at some point and that shows no matter how long or what we are going through- it will get better and I mean that. ITV. Thursday night. 8PM Mental health matters ❤️

First ever film premiere, meeting Cillian Murphy and talking about mental health. What a beautiful night ❤️ Today I got the opportunity to go to Netflix’s UK premiere of their new movie Steve. An eye opening film about the reality of kids, teachers and UK’s mental health. Something I’ve never seen before in a film. Was an honour to meet the cast of the show tonight. To speak to @LittleSimz and Jay Lycurgo about mental health and the struggles as teenagers meant so much. Also met the main man Cillian Murphy but bottled the photo, to even share a red carpet with him doesn’t seem like reality. The main thanks goes to @mindcharity for the invite. Thank you for continuing to always be there, saved my life 💙

First time under 100KG in over 3.5 years. On 19th march 2024 I weighed in at 145.6KG/23 stone. Today I stepped on the scales and now at 99.15Kg/15 stone. Since I began the fitness journey my main goal was to get back into double figures and feel more comfortable in my clothes. Today after a year and a half of training we’ve ticked the goal off. After the UK run I weighed in at 107. Went back up to 112 after a month of a BAD binge eating- so spent the last few months really locking in to my diet again. I have no plan to stop training, the gym and running truly is a beautiful thing and hopefully I can keep ticking the pounds down in the process. It’s a slow journey but one I’m excited to keep plodding at🫡

Thank you Apple, a dream come true ❤️

Honoured to be involved in the new @apple Watch advert in today’s Apple Launch Event❤️ Been so difficult to keep this quiet over the last month, couldn’t even tell the family haha but so grateful to be a small part in such an amazing thing. To be able to spread the awareness of mental health with the biggest brand in the world will never be topped. Thank you Apple for believing in the journey and helping spread the word 🙏

One year ago today I completed my first ever marathon. 200+ people running with us in Hyde park over the day, meeting some inspirational humans and most of all raising awareness for mental health with it. Because of that day the 7th of September will always hold a special moment in my life. It’s been a crazy year since then, many ups-many downs but a year I’ll never forget. Mental health matters ❤️

Just over a year ago I averaged a 15 minute, tonight I’m very grateful to have gotten a 6.20 while on my 5K. Long way to go in terms of speed but excited to keep working on it. Turning my training and dieting into my priority recently, the hunger to get under 100KG is everything right now. Not on socials too much atm but wanted to share a bit of progress. Hope everyone is having a nice summer ❤️

HALF MARATHON WITH IAIN WARD I rarely do announcements when I’m meeting or running with someone but this one is a dream come true. Next month on the 14th I will be flying to Ireland to be Iain’s guest for a half marathon in the town of Offaly. When you think of inspirations, Iain is probably the closest a person can get to the definition. His story, his strength and his love. To even meet him will be an honour but to do a challenge and talk with him will be a dream come true. Although the day will be so special on a personal note, what’s more incredible is Iain is taking on a challenge of doing a half marathon in 32 different counties, one every day next month. Cannot wait for him to smash it and to be able to play a part in a fraction of it. Thank you for this opportunity ❤️

1.6KG loss this week. 145KG to 107KG now, the push for double figures is on❤️

Ready to get back to training now. Sub 25 attempt next week. Today was just about getting out there. Appreciate the love and messages from the other days post. 4 days without any anxiety attacks now. To all those out there suffering with them. You are never alone in this battle❤️

Post I’ve been contemplating to do for the last few weeks but a year ago at my worst- I always promised myself I’d speak out if anything was going on. About a month and a half ago I suffered my first ever panic attack whilst on a train to a concert. Suddenly was hit with vertigo, felt as if I was dying, heart was palpitating and I couldn’t breathe very well. Had no idea what it was but my mum comforted me and convinced my mind that I was infact okay. In the last few weeks I’ve suffered 2 bad panic attacks but since the first been in a constant loop of health anxiety. I’ll be honest I used to always think a panic attack was just a bit of anxiety but having experienced them I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. Now I’ve been keeping it to myself the last few weeks as I wanted to get over them in private and I don’t think everything needs to be put on social media but I know a lot of people out there have suffered with them and do still suffer. So I felt putting my experience out there may be a comfort to some- just know you are never alone. Slowly trying to get back into the running but may just need a little bit to get back to what it was like. Turning the comments off this post as that’s not why I’ve posted this but my dms are always open to those who are struggling ❤️

FACE OF @mindcharity FOR LONDON MARATHON 2026 💙 Delighted to announce I have been invited to run in the London Marathon next year representing the mind charity. Since I began running and even years before that, I used to watch the London Marathon every year. The emotions, the stories and the shear atmosphere with thousands coming to support the runners. So to be taking part as an 18 year old next year, means the world. Whilst I began planning for the next challenge, I will start training for this. Cannot wait, so thankful to Mind for the opportunity. I don’t take this for granted, seriously grateful 💙

What a day. Meeting the CEO and all the amazing people at the @mindcharity 💙 To meet everyone at mind headquarters was a dream come true. Sarah is the definition of a true hero, so grateful for what she and everyone does for the people suffering with mental health. Speaking to them about where the money raised from the challenge will go to and seeing how many people it will help, meant the world to me. In 2019 I frantically rang so many helplines in search for help and mind were always there for me. What a beautiful organisation, thank you for everything you’ve done 💙 Thank you Channel 5 for inviting me onto the studio, apparently 30 million people saw it. Slightly scary that. So grateful for these days❤️
