London Marathon 2022 · 2 October 2022 ·

We help families get time away together - often for the first time ever - for holidays that build happy memories, confidence and hope for the future. The Family Holiday Charity - for holidays that make a lifetime of difference.

Story

Even a day trip can make a world of difference to a child whose family is going through a tough time. The cost of living crisis means that many more will be denied this opportunity so I am pleased to be able to help the FHC by running the London Marathon for them.

The FHC provides UK based breaks for families struggling with problems such as ill-health, bereavement, disability and financial hardship. All families who are supported by the charity are on a low income, haven’t holidayed together in the last 4 years and have at least one child under 18 who will go on the holiday.

Families supported by the FHC need to be referred by somebody who is supporting the family on an ongoing basis, such as social services, community health teams, health visitors, registered refuge and domestic abuse support services.

Thank you in advance for supporting the charity, helping me to pound the streets of London towards that finish line on 2nd October, and inspiring me to spend less time looking like I do in the photo!
