It all started when I was asked if I wanted to run the Barns Green half marathon (Thank you Dan Thomas). Unfortunately I said yes. Since then I have been training hard. Suffered ongoing injuries such as groin strains and most painful of all shin splints, which required a complete rest. So I thought to myself this is a big ask, a lot of training and hell of a lot of time involved. How can I help someone by doing this run?

"The child first and always"

This is Great Ormand Street Hospital's motto and has been for almost 100 years. The hospital and the charity are completely dedicated to providing world-class care to sick children and their families, which would not be possible without the support of US.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully donating something for these children.

Thank you Dave :)

In memory of Oliver Laws we all love you

PS I ran my first race on Sunday 19th September. A small 10k taking 54 mins.

A few ways your fundraising could help

Amazing things happen at Great Ormond Street Hospital every day and the money raised by people like you and your friends and family is crucial in helping us continue with this great work. 

£25 could pay for five special masks to help newborn babies breathe.

£100 could help pay for two week’s accommodation for parents to stay close by.

£500 could help pay for a new play room in the hospital’s redeveloped site.

Thank you for your support; we couldn’t do it without you.
