My Story

In April 2026 I will be running the iconic London Marathon in aid of Make-A-Wish® UK!

I have chosen to run for Make-A-Wish because, in 2019, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and was granted my wish to attend the British Grand Prix in 2024. My wish meant a great deal to me and my family, and it was one of the best weekends of my life. We are forever grateful to everyone who has donated to Make-A-Wish to make it possible and to everyone who works for the charity. I want to give back to Make-A-Wish so that other critically ill children can also have their wishes granted.

Right now over 134,000 children in the UK are eligible for a wish because they are dealing with the grueling daily reality of life with a critical illness. When it comes to their dreams, they deserve to wish for more than a life defined by their illness. Critical illness brings a child's joy to an abrupt end but Make-A-Wish UK is part of a global movement that grants life-changing wishes that have the power to turn tears into cheers, rescuing the magic of childhood even in their toughest times and providing a lifeline for families to spend precious time together. 

Please support me as I take on the 2026 TCS London Marathon!
