My Story

I'm running the 2022 London Marathon to raise money for the wonderful children's charity Starlight.

Starlight's mission is to use the power of play to make the experience of illness and treatment better for children and their families.

We are passionate about protecting time for play. We champion play’s importance and defend every seriously ill child’s right to it. Our passion takes us to the bedsides of some of the most poorly children in the UK. We use the power of play to create a sense of escape from the difficult reality in which these children find themselves. To delight and distract. To entertain and enlighten. But, most of all, to restore a smile to their faces.

Play is important. Play is invaluable. Play is vital.

This has been a life long dream to run the London Marathon for an amazing cause so please can you help me raise both much needed funds and awareness for this great charity.

I completely understand that we are all going through an incredibly tough time financially so any donation is very much appreciated. If it's £1 or £100 then you will be making a huge difference to this amazing charity.

Whilst you are donating please can you share this page on your social media pages.

Thank you
