Derby Pretty Muddy 5k 2026

My Story

On the 8th May last year, I received the worst phone call of my life — to be told my dad had terminal cancer. Just four weeks later, on the 7th June, he sadly lost his battle. In those four weeks, he showed more strength than I ever thought possible. He put up the biggest fight of his life, yet his uplifting energy never dulled. He stayed as active as he could, remained positive through it all, and always had the biggest smile on his face, even while going through such an incredibly tough time. Watching someone you love go through that is something I’ll never forget. But what will stay with me even more is his strength, his courage, and the way he faced everything with such determination and positivity. I’m taking on the Pretty Muddy 5K in his memory — to honour him, to remember him, and to help raise money for Cancer Research UK so that one day, fewer families have to go through this kind of heartbreak. Every step I take will be for him. Thank you so much for any support ❤️
