About this listen
Louise was training for the virtual London Marathon in 2022 when she was diagnosed with Lobular Breast cancer, it was a complete shock as her mammogram had been clear three weeks earlier. Breast cancer broke her and her family but she was determined not to let it take away her dream of running the Virtual London Marathon so she carried on training throughout both her Mastectomies and Radiotherapy.
Louise will be running for 'Breast Cancer Now' in London 2024. It has been her dream to run in London and spread her important messages, to raise awareness of breast cancer, reduce the stigma of scars and promote body positivity.
Louise is topless and will be the first woman in the world to run a Marathon topless so this is a massive moment for her and for history. "I am grateful that I can run, that I am alive and that I have been given the chance to see my kids grow up. I owe my life to it."
