Meet our incredible runners, training and fundraising to support the BDD Foundation in September’s Big Half
Meet our Big Half runners!
This is the BDD Foundation’s first year taking part in the Big Half, and we are so excited to welcome Katie & Hollie to our 2026 fundraising team 🎉
Thank you to you both for your amazing efforts in raising both awareness and funds for us. It means so much!

Hollie Ryan
I’m running to support the charity to help it continue to provide rare and much needed support to its community, one of whom is a close personal friend who has inspired me with her tenacity and bravery in not only dealing with the disorder personally but helping others understand and deal with it themselves.

Katie Lang
I’m incredibly proud to be running the Big Half for team BDD Foundation! Every day in my work as a Clinical Psychologist, I meet young people whose lives have been deeply affected by BDD and I have seen the difference that the support provided the BDD Foundation can make to them. I’m so pleased that I can offer a small part in improving awareness of BDD and raising some money for this incredible charity!
If you’d like to support Hollie or Katie, we’ve shared their fundraising links below.
