My Story

About us

In April 2026, I’ll be taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon in memory of my wonderful grandfather, Richard Lee, who we sadly lost to Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). He was an extraordinary man, a talented cricketer and boxer, a successful architect, and most importantly, the centre of our family. His energy, charisma, and humour touched everyone who knew him

MSA is a rare and relentlessly progressive neurological condition that deeply affected my family. Throughout his illness, we were fortunate to receive incredible support from the MSA Trust, not just through information and guidance, but also through the compassionate community they’ve built. Their work made a huge difference to us during such a difficult time, and now I want to give something back to help other families who are currently, or may in the future, be impacted by this devastating disease.

Luckily I won’t be doing this alone as my dad will be running right alongside me throughout my training and the race itself. Fittingly, Marathon Day falls just two days after his 60th birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than by crossing that finish line together for such a meaningful cause.

Over the next year, I’ll be training hard and fundraising to raise as much money as possible for the MSA Trust so they can continue their vital work. Your support means the world. Any donation no matter how small will go a long way in helping the Trust continue to provide care, support, and hope to families like mine.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for being part of this journey with me.
