A huge congratulations to Mr Rish Sharma on completing the Plymouth Half Marathon and raising an incredible amount for charity.

Rish's words are a powerful reminder that running is about so much more than finish times and personal bests. It's about movement, resilience, health, purpose, and supporting causes that matter.

A huge well done and massive thank you to Primrose Consultant Breast Surgeon Mr Rish Sharma who completed the Plymouth half marathon last month raising a fantastic £1,132! In his words:

On 17 May 2026, I ran 13.11 miles along the Plymouth coastline in 2 hours and 3 minutes — no watch, no data, no shortcuts. Just instinct. The body knew the way.

I didn’t start this with a target in mind, but with a simple belief — that daily, natural movement is a form of medicine. That the body isn’t something to be fixed, but something to be used and trusted. And perhaps most importantly, that as a surgeon, I should be willing to live what I ask of my patients.

Fifteen years ago, I couldn’t walk a kilometre without painkillers. Last month, I ran thirteen miles by the sea, in the city that has shaped so much of who I am — carrying with me, in a quiet way, the stories of patients I’ve sat with over the years.

They didn’t choose their diagnosis. I chose this run — for them, and especially for women under 40 with breast cancer who fall outside the screening net. Their lives, their futures, and their long survivorship deserve far more attention than they often receive.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply paused for a moment to reflect — thank you. You were part of that run. Every pound raised goes directly to the Primrose Foundation here in Plymouth, and every conversation started around this matters more than any finish time.

The run may be over, but the work continues.
