My Story

Running the London Marathon was never part of my agenda as the President of ICAS. Social mobility and access to education, however, were always a top priority for me. I wanted my tenure to increase the chances of young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds to be able to enter the profession I love so much.

So, (after some convincing), I’m entering the London Marathon 2026 on behalf of the ICAS Foundation and hoping to raise £30,000!

The Foundation offers bursaries, mentoring and professional skills support to those who need that extra bit of help getting into the accounting profession. The individuals we help are passionate, talented and just need that extra bit of help.

It’s a massive goal – both fitness-wise and financially – and I’m asking for your support in achieving it! Any donation, of any size, is most welcome and both ICAS and I would be eternally grateful!

Thank you for your support… London, here I come!
