My Story

TCS London Marathon 2026 is back on Sunday 26th April 2026, and I'm proud to share I have a place on the fabulous squad running on behalf of The Children's Trust. 

Acquired brain injury affects more than one million people in the UK and every year, 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness. Every mile ran and every penny raised will help us support the children when they need us the most. We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who donates, volunteers or hosts fundraising activities on our behalf - Thank you! 

I'll be supporting children like Reuben, who came to The Children’s Trust for rehabilitation after having a stroke at the age of two. 

Reuben was a bouncy, chatty little boy, having a bath before bedtime when his mum, Holly, noticed something was wrong. He was rushed to A&E, where his dad, Liam, realised that Reuben didn’t recognise him and asked for a CT scan. At 3.30am it was confirmed: Reuben had had a significant stroke. He stopped talking. He stopped crying. He was unable to move his right side at all. 

Three months later, Reuben arrived at The Children’s Trust for specialist rehabilitation. He was given a weekly timetable of intensive therapy, including physiotherapy to help him walk independently, and speech and language therapy to help him communicate. The team motivated Reuben by incorporating activities he enjoyed into his therapy, particularly his love of football! With hard work and determination, Reuben made great progress during his time at The Children’s Trust. 

Please support the superstar Squad for 2026 by making a donation and cheering us on, whether that be along the route, or virtually. Every mile ran and every penny raised will help The Children's Trust support children and young people when they need it the most. 

If you are able to make a donation, please ensure that you have opted to provide Gift Aid (if applicable). This will provide The Children's Trust with an additional 25% income from HMRC which is invaluable in our fundraising efforts. 

 

Thank you!
