I am dusting off my trainers and running the Brighton Half Marathon on March 2nd for the first time since having the babies who have just turned 2! It's been a huge journey to get back to this point physically after a HUGE pregnancy!

I am the Honorary Head Of Fundraising for The Venkat Trust, our beloved charity in India providing education and future promise to the poorest of poor children in the poverty stricken village of Kovolam.

Each year I build a team to run The Brighton Half Marathon and this year we have a team of 75 runners! I am so so grateful to each person who has stepped forward to run and fundriase for us.

It's been a huge task to pull it together in amongst the craziness of life, motherhood, running a business etc but nothing will ever stop me doing this great work as our lives are constantly touched and changed because of The Venkat Trust.

In 2024 we took the babies with us to visit the village, it was a very special trip, it was beautiful to get back there and see first hand what our constant work is achieving. I had the pleasure of opening the 6 classroom wing added to our high school from our 2023 Half Marathon Fundraising efforts!

This year our focus for fundraising is for University Funds and scholarships... I don't need to explain how life changing this is!

John and I are both running, I will look forward to getting round and having lots of fun alongside our amazing team!

Please give what you can... it means everything and every £1 goes a VERY long way.

My love always, Alex xxx
