LONDON MARATHON APRIL 2026

As you may or may not be aware, I was fortunate enough to get a charity place for next year’s London Marathon.

I will be running for a charity close to my heart - The Lullaby Trust.

I lost my older sister, Louise, to Cot Death (sudden infant death syndrome) in the 80’s.

This was a very traumatic time for my family and having the support from The Lullaby Trust was invaluable.

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies' lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), The Lullaby Trust is committed to bringing that number down to zero. 

I will be raising awareness and funds that will be helping families who have lost a baby to receive specialist help, funding research to prevent more babies from dying suddenly and unexpectedly, and allowing more parents to receive advice on safer baby sleep.

Your kind support is crucial to creating a future where no baby dies suddenly and unexpectedly. The Lullaby Trust is reliant on voluntary donations, no matter how small, and your generosity is hugely appreciated.

Realistically, this will be my last attempt at a sub three hour marathon given my age👨🏻‍🦳, therefore your support and encouragement will really help motivate me to the finish line ☺️

Thank you
