Turns out if you talk about something for long enough, eventually you have to do it.

So here we are - I’m running the Berlin Marathon this year, and officially kicking off my World Marathon Majors journey (about time I ticked that off the list!). But this one is about more than just the finish line.

I’m raising money for WellChild UK, a charity that helps children with complex medical needs live safely at home with their families, where they truly belong.

Instead of spending long periods in hospital, WellChild supports these children so they can be at home, surrounded by the people who love them most. They do this by funding specialist nurses, connecting families through support networks, offering hands-on training, and even transforming outdoor spaces so children can safely enjoy the world around them.

Every donation, no matter the size, genuinely changes lives:

• £150 could provide a day of a WellChild Family Coordinator’s time to support families through the WellChild Family Tree

• £50 could fund a Parent Ambassador to host a local support group for parent carers in their region

• £20 could connect a WellChild Family to our vital information and support service, the WellChild Family Tree

If you’re able to support me or share this page, I’d be incredibly grateful. Whether it’s the price of a coffee or something more, it all adds up and goes directly towards helping families who need it.

And if nothing else, just know that your support means the world to me and is what will keep me going (along with an unreasonable number of energy gels).

Thank you so much 💙
