on 23rd and 24th May, I’ll be walking two marathons in two days (52.4 miles / 85km) to raise money for two causes that mean a great deal to me: Calan DVS and Marie Curie UK.

Marie Curie holds a very special place in my heart. The team at the Penarth Hospice cared for my uncle in his final weeks, and the compassion, dignity, and support they gave to him and to all of us as a family, was incredible. It’s something I will never forget, and this is my way of saying thank you and helping them continue that vital work.

Alongside this, as CEO of Calan DVS, I see every day just how essential these services are. Calan provides critical support to individuals and families affected by domestic abuse, often at the most difficult and dangerous times in their lives. The need for these services continues to grow, and every pound raised helps ensure that support is there when it’s needed most.

Important: I’ve set this page up for Calan DVS, but I am fundraising for both charities. All money raised will be split 50/50, and I will personally arrange for half of the total to be donated to Marie Curie UK. For full transparency, I will share confirmation of this donation on this page once it has been made.

This challenge will push me physically and mentally, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by the people these charities support.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it will make a real difference.

Thank you so much for your support, it truly means a lot.
