Poppy Jaman to run Brighton Marathon in a saree for a cause

Poppy Jaman

Mental health advocate Poppy Jaman is set to run the Brighton Marathon on 6 April 2025—wearing a saree. Inspired by this year’s International Women’s Day theme, she aims to highlight women’s resilience and raise £6,000 for a nursing scholarship for a young woman from a low-income family in Bangladesh.

Jaman, who has been training since August 2024, has built her endurance from 2.7km to 27km. The challenge is personal for her, as she has faced lupus, menopause, and mental health struggles. She believes movement is a powerful tool for well-being and hopes her effort will inspire others to take action.


The saree run is also a tribute to women globally, many of whom walk long distances in traditional attire. By combining her personal journey with a larger cause, Jaman hopes to make a meaningful impact.
