My Story

I am excited to be running the 2026 TCS London Marathon with my daughter Lauren. This is our first (and only?) marathon and we are both raising funds and awareness for Anaphylaxis UK. 

We have benefitted from the charity's work for over 20 years (since we discovered Lauren's serious nut allergy).

Anaphylaxis UK is the only UK-wide charity operating solely for the growing numbers of people at risk of serious allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. In the UK, over 2 million people have a food allergy and hospital admissions due to allergies and anaphylaxis in England have nearly doubled in the last twenty years. For 30 years, Anaphylaxis UK has been providing trusted and scientifically-based resources and training to individuals and families, education settings, businesses, and healthcare professionals.

Thank you for supporting my London Marathon fundraising journey and the vital work of Anaphylaxis UK. If you would rather help Lauren raise more money than me, use this link: Anaphylaxis UK: Lauren's page.
