My Story

I'm incredibly excited (and slightly terrified) to share that I have secured a last-minute charity place in the London Marathon 2026, taking place on Sunday 26th April - just six weeks away.

What makes this challenge even more special is the timing. The marathon falls just three days before my 50th birthday, and there's no better way I can think of to mark this milestone than by pushing myself to run 26.2 miles through the heart of London and then using it as an excuse to have a few days off!

Thank you for reading and for any support you are able to give, I'm aiming to raise at least £1000 for TheGivingMachine and I'll be carrying every donation with me from the start line to the finish.

TheGivingMachine is a charity dedicated to helping communities thrive. We support charities, schools, and community groups by offering simple fundraising solutions and providing grants that make a real difference. Every mile run and every donation raised helps us extend our reach and empower even more good causes. Thank you for supporting our work.
