I am running the London 2024 Marathon to raise both funds and awareness for Marlow Youth FC Inclusivity and Disability Team (https://inclusive.football/places/marlow-youth-f-c/). They are a fantastic team - a pan disability football club with over 45 members with ages ranging from 6 -70 years old.

They give boys and girls the opportunity to experience competitive football in a safe, secure and relaxed environment. Speaking from experience, it provides a huge source of motivation, pride and self-belief for those taking part and helps to provide much needed support to their families.

The club has been running for over 10 years with FA qualified coaches for all age groups.

They offer football sessions for all ages and ability with 6 teams taking part in the Berks Bucks Oxfordshire inclusive league (BOBi - https://www.bobileaguefootball.org.uk/)

The club has a close personal connection to my family, and has become a constant in our lives. I would love to be able to repay them for this by raising much needed funds.

These would help the club to continue running, pitch hire, new kits and potentially transport to future tournaments and events.

All proceeds will go to the Club.
