I discovered the British Dyslexia Association when my son was recognised as dyslexic in the summer. The diagnosis was a relief - everything started to make sense and my son understood why he’d always struggled with things his classmates had found relatively easy. He knows his dyslexia is his superpower, it’s part of what makes him who he is. I’m running the London Marathon to raise money in support of the fantastic work the BDA do to help people like my son. I want to show him that with a bit of self-belief, determination and the right kind of support anything is possible and nothing is out of reach.

The BDA are a charity with a very clear purpose - to help children and adults with dyslexia unlock and fulfil their potential and be the best versions of themselves. Their message is simple: a world that embraces and promotes neurodiversity is a kinder, more creative and empowered world. People living with dyslexia should be acknowledged & accepted for who they are, because every kind of brain should be valued for its unique way of looking at the world.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the BDA and I’m honoured to have been selected to join their London Marathon fundraising team. I’m delighted to be able to show my support and gratitude and share this milestone with them.

Please support me as I take on the best marathon in the world - The 2023 April TCS London Marathon. I'd really appreciate a small donation or whatever you can spare, to support the work of the British Dyslexia Association; a charity close to my heart. Wish me luck and thank you so much!
