Since school, when I came last in cross country running, I have never run more than 3km so a half marathon is a big challenge. As CEO of Leap Confronting Conflict I see young people facing bigger challenges than this every day, so it seems only fair that I face this one too!

I am pleased to be taking part in Leap's very first running event, the 2020 London Landmarks Half Marathon. I am excited to face a personal challenge, and raise funds for Leap's work helping young people including for those who are growing up in care and excluded from school. So please help me get fit, and more importantly, help young people live happy and fulfilling lives. You can find out more about Leap's work here: www.leapcc.org.uk. THANK YOU.
