Why I’m Running the London Marathon (Yes, Really)

I’m running the London Marathon for three reasons:

1) To push and Challenge myself

2) To raise money for an incredible cause SEE-ME Futures which supports young adults with SEND to gain meaningful employment

3) I entered it never expecting to get a spot! Less than 1% of people apply get a spot let alone on their 1st go.... Yay me!

Let’s be honest, I hate running. Like, truly my favourite part is when it's over!

So when I signed up for 26.2 miles, it wasn’t because I suddenly found joy in long runs, blisters, or questionable life choices. It was because this cause genuinely matters.

Too many young adults with SEND face barriers to finding work that values their skills, talents, and potential. The CIC I’m supporting helps break down those barriers offering training, confidence-building, and real opportunities that lead to meaningful, fulfilling employment.

Your donation helps create independence, purpose, and brighter futures.

So yes, I’ll be out there suffering mile after mile. If:

You believe in equal opportunities

You want to support young adults with SEND

Or you simply enjoy the idea of me suffering over the next few months

…then please sponsor me 😅
