My Story

I’m running the London Marathon this April, and in the lead-up I’ll be covering over 250km in April alone as part of my training.

Somewhere along the way, I decided to inflict a bit of “forced fun” on my colleagues at Quadrant Design… and to their credit, they didn’t just humour me - they actually ran with it!

And so, QD’s Reluctant Athletes Club was born 💪

Together, we’ve set ourselves a collective goal to run and walk 1,000km in 30 days, turning individual miles into something that can make a real difference.

But this challenge has become about more than just the marathon.

We believe our young son may be living with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a condition that goes far beyond “fussy eating”. It can affect daily life, health, and family routines in ways that are often misunderstood or overlooked.

Like many families, we’re still learning and trying to understand how best to support him.

By raising awareness and funds for ARFID, we hope to contribute towards better understanding, support, and resources for families going through similar experiences.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps. And every kilometre we cover as a team is a step towards something bigger.

Thank you for your support.

And thanks to my family and my QD team mates for coming along the journey with me 🙌
