Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On 23 April, I will be attempting my first ever marathon at the London Marathon. 

As a child, I was lucky enough to be brought up in a safe, secure and happy environment - within a loving family and with a great education. That start in life has allowed me to achieve things and to go places I could only have dreamed of. So many children and young people simply don't have the same opportunities and can find themselves left behind.

Olive Academies support children and young people who have had difficulty learning in mainstream schools - nurturing them and providing the education and learning opportunities that every child deserves.

I'm running to help support Olive in the amazing work they do - and to help some of the most deserving and vulnerable young people in society.

Thank you so much for anything you can give - it means so much to me but will mean even more to the young people who you're helping. Thank you.
