My Story

In April 2026, I’ll be running 26.2 miles at the TCS London Marathon… which would be a sensible thing to do if I’d given myself more than 7 weeks to prepare.

I’ve taken this place on slightly short notice, which means there’s a very real chance I’ll be questioning my life choices somewhere around mile 20. Am I an idiot? Possibly. But it’s for a cause that means a lot to me.

I’m running for Children with Cancer UK, a charity working towards a world where every child and young person survives cancer. They fund life-saving research and support families when they need it most.

This isn’t my first time fundraising for them. I previously raised money through my MMA fight, and the support I received made a huge difference. So apparently my approach to charity fundraising is just to keep picking increasingly uncomfortable challenges.

This time it’s 26.2 miles.

If you’re able to donate, anything you give will go towards an incredible cause and will massively help push me through the long training runs (and the even longer marathon itself). If you can’t donate, sharing the page or reminding me this was my own decision will also be appreciated.

Thank you for the support — it genuinely means a lot.
