My Story

I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for Harry’s Pals 💚 

In April 2026, I’ll be taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon – 26.2 miles through the heart of this iconic city – and I’m doing it to raise vital funds for a charity that means a great deal to me: Harry’s Pals.

Harry’s Pals is a local charity doing truly incredible work. They provide emotional and practical support to parents who have just received life-changing news – that their child has been diagnosed with a severe illness or disability. In those moments of shock, confusion, and overwhelming emotion, Harry’s Pals step in with compassion, guidance, and care.

This is a charity I have been supporting for a number of years, and I want to help them reach even more families when they’re needed most. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward helping these parents navigate some of the toughest moments of their lives.

Please take a moment to visit their website and learn about all the incredible things this charity does: https://harryspals.co.uk/

I’ve run many half marathons over the years, but this will be my first full marathon – and it’s a challenge I’ve deliberately chosen. After overcoming some personal physical challenges in recent years, I’m ready to push myself further than ever before. Running the London Marathon is more than just a race for me – it’s a symbol of resilience, determination, and doing something meaningful for others.

Thank you so much for your support – it means the world.

Keep a look out for my training updates and other fundraising events along the journey!

I'm hoping to complete the Marathon in under 4 1/2 hours!
