My Story

In many ways, marathons are a great metaphor for life: it’s long, there’s often discomfort, but perseverance and your mindset make all the difference.

I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for Ben, who support people in the automotive industry with their own challenges – from mental health to physical wellbeing and everything in between.

Running London has been on my bucket list for years – and in the midst of a full home renovation and quite the year in my space of automotive compliance, I’ve decided that now is as good a time as any to tick it off…

Training has started, my (beautiful) trainer rotation is expanding, and the playlist is being carefully curated.

I’m beyond excited for the miles to come but am under no illusion that they won’t be without literal blood, sweat and tears. But every step is also an opportunity to raise money for am incredible charity that makes a real difference to our industry’s people when life gets tough; one that I've benefitted from firsthand and am so grateful for.

Your support means the world – whether that’s a donation, some words of encouragement, or cheers and a witty sign on the streets of London on the big day (with a margarita after!) Every pound raised will help Ben continue their incredible work supporting our industry’s people when life gets tough.

Thank you xx
