I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you all – I will be running the London Marathon on April 21st, 2024! This marks a significant personal milestone for me as it's my very first marathon, and I'm embarking on this incredible journey to support amazing cause.

While I have never considered myself a runner before, the opportunity to make a difference has motivated me to take on this monumental challenge. I believe that when we push our boundaries, we can achieve extraordinary things, and this marathon is my way of doing just that. For those who know me, you will truly understand what a huge goal I have set myself.

I am running this marathon to raise funds for the Brentwood Catholic Children’s Society (BCCS).
