It’s the first time I’ve ever set up a JustGiving page for my own endeavour and it’s a fantastically worthy cause very close to my heart. 

St Mark’s Hospital Foundation exists to support the incredible work St Mark’s Hospital does in researching and helping diagnose and cure many forms of bowel disease. 

My brother in law was under their care for a considerable part of his life and I saw at first hand the exceptional work undertaken by all the staff in ensuring their patients needs came first and I want to be able to give something back. 

I’m these exceptional times for healthcare in this country I believe if we all pull together and contribute something, no matter how small, we can make such a dramatic difference and that only by doing so together will we make that difference. 

I’m running the Vitality London 10km race in May 2022 and in doing it for such a worthy cause I hope it will drive me to achieve an exceptional performance and hope you can join me in supporting the cause too.

I really appreciate anything you can give to support this wonderful charity and help me run in memory of my brother in law.
