I’m running the Belfast Marathon this year and I’ll be honest, it’s going to be a challenge! But I’m doing it for something much bigger than me.

I’m fundraising for NOW Group, an incredible charity that supports people with learning disabilities, difficulties, and autism into meaningful, paid employment. In 2024 alone, they helped over 2,000 people across Ireland build brighter, more independent futures.

Through my role at Deloitte Belfast, I’ve seen firsthand the impact of our Social Impact programme—focused on creating opportunities, building skills, and shaping a more inclusive workforce. Supporting NOW Group is a huge part of that mission.

Training for a marathon is tough, but it’s nothing compared to the barriers many people face every day. That’s why I’m running, to help break down those barriers.

If you can donate, even a small amount, it would mean the world to me and to those NOW Group supports. Thank you for being part of this journey!
