I have been inspired to run the London Marathon since the passing of my girlfriend, Hannah Melling, on September 25th 2022 from a cardiac arrest the day after we returned from holiday.

Hannah’s mum had unfortunately passed away 14 months ago from the same circumstances too. Hannah and I had become extremely passionate about donating and purchasing clothing from the British Heart Foundation and I feel very privileged they have given me the opportunity to run and fundraise for them.

Running has been one of the main ways of helping me process and deal with my grief, some days the only way I am able to get out of bed is concentrating on completing a run.

I’m running for those who have lost someone too early,

For those who never got to say goodbye,

For those struggling with their grief,

For the prevention of potential cardiac issues in others, 

For the Mellings,

For Liz,

And for Hannah because I love you so.
