Great Ormond Street Hospital holds a special place in my family's heart.

When my nephew needed specialist care as a newborn, the incredible team at GOSH gave him the treatment and support he needed during one of the most difficult times for our family.

Knowing that my nephew was given the best possible chance in life is something I'll always be grateful for. Running the Cardiff Half Marathon is my way of saying thank you and helping give other children that same chance.

At 40 years old and weighing over 126 kg, I decided it was time to change my life. What started as a personal journey to improve my health has become an opportunity to give back to charities that have made a real difference to my family.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity continue funding life-changing research, pioneering treatments and vital support for seriously ill children and their families.

Thank you for supporting both my journey and this incredible charity.
