On 17th May 2026, I am running the Hackney Half Marathon for a cause close to my heart: attention.

I will also be raising money for Hackney Foodbank, a brilliant charity which provides emergency food parcels, and offers practical, immediate relief for people in moments of crisis. The organisation is built on the belief that it is possible to change the circumstances that lead to hunger, and break cycles of poverty. So as well as providing food, Hackney Foodbank connects people with local organisations that can help them to address the root causes and wider effects of poverty in their lives.
