I am raising money for the British Dyslexia Association, by taking part in the 2025 London Marathon.

Though I've been running for 6 or 7 years now, the farthest I have ran is a half marathon. So the thought of having to do double that distance is terrifying and exciting in equal measure!

I have decided to run the London Marathon to raise as much money as possible for Team BDA. As someone who has worked in adult education for most of my working career, I have supported many people with dyslexia who have lacked the confidence to fulfil their potential due to the lack of support and stigma that they faced growing up. And I always found it incredibly rewarding to help them achieve their goal of gaining a qualification.  

A donation, big or small, will make a huge difference to the BDA and help to create a dyslexia friendly society that enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential.

Thanks so much.
