This November, I will be taking on my 3rd marathon, running in the TCS New York City Marathon. I will be doing so to raise funds for Behind Every Kick - a charity very close to my heart. Empowering young people through a shared love of sport. Helping them develop key skills through playing sports which they can harness to create opportunities in their wider lives.

I have observed first hand how this charity has significantly improved the lives of young people through its programme, successfully shifting their perception of how they see their place in the world.

As one student said, "Behind Every Kick has has helped me to develop my skills and to grow my mindset. It has forced me to think about myself in lots of different ways, helping to motivate me to do better."

I would be delighted if you would support me in this challenge and donate to such a worthy charity.

All proceeds will go directly to Behind Every Kick and the trip itself is self funded.

Any amount you can generously spare will make a difference!

Lots of Love
