This will be the second marathon that Matthew will have run to help Croydon Health Charity, which is dedicated to supporting patients and staff across Croydon Health Services NHS Trust.

In 2023 Matthew raised over £2,500 to help fund new life saving children's ventilators, as part of the successful 'Little Breaths' appeal.

Matthew is a seasoned runner and regularly runs to benefit his physical and mental health.

In 2021 he took part in the South Coast Challenge ‘Ultra Marathon and ran 100km on the South Coast from Eastbourne to Arundel. Matthew is also a former Ironman UK competitor!

Matthew will be running alongside Luke Nash, Deputy Head of Digital Applications, at Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, who is also raising funds for our charity. Matthew said:

“I’m incredibly proud to be running the London Marathon alongside Luke. His story and passion for giving back to our Trust are truly inspiring. We’ll be training together and encouraging each other every step of the way – and I know he’ll make his family, and all of us at Croydon, very proud.”
