Primary school years are the most important in a child's education. We all have great memories of it, and we cannot ignore they had a significant impact on who we are today.

Unfortunately, schools in England are facing a funding crisis, with spending per pupil in 2025 expected to be 3% lower than in 2010 (source IFS).

This is why I take the opportunity to raise funding for the River Mill Primary School PTA in Dartford, while running the 2025 Manchester Marathon on Sunday the 27th of April 2025. All money raised will contribute to make the school a better place for children to learn and be well prepared for their future.

Also, I would like you to know that my employer foundation, SG UK Foundation, will match fundraising up to £500 for this event, helping amplifying the positive impact of your generosity.

Thanks again for your donations.
