This October, I’ll be running my first-ever marathon—and I’m doing it for a cause that means a lot to me.

I grew up in England, and while I now live in the U.S., the UK will always be home. That’s why I’ve chosen to run in support of WellChild, a UK-based charity that provides vital care and support to seriously ill children and their families across the country.

Every child deserves the chance to thrive at home, not in a hospital, and that’s exactly what WellChild makes possible. From funding home care nurses to adapting homes and offering critical family support, their work is life-changing.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world. Every pound raised goes directly to helping WellChild continue their incredible work.
