On September 29th 2024 I will be running the Berlin Marathon. As it is the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Marathon it will be a busy one and I will be one of 50,000 runners hitting the streets. This will affect my running time but I’m still hoping for a sub 4 hour marathon finish time.

If you have followed my running journey previously, you will have seen that marathons take months of dedication and training. It is hard work to prepare your body to run 26.2 miles.

I’m honoured to be running for WellChild. I am raising money for this great charity who do amazing work for children and young people.

For more information on the charity please read below:

WellChild Childrens Nurses provide essential care and practical support to children and young people requiring long-term or complex care. They play a crucial role in enabling children to leave hospital and be cared for at home, reducing the practical, emotional and financial impact for families.

WellChild is also committed to funding high quality, innovative projects designed to have a positive impact for seriously ill children both now and in the future. This includes WellChilds Helping Hands programme which continues to go from strength to strength, working with volunteers from companies and organisations across the country to tackle essential projects in the homes of children with serious illness. Those volunteers provide the manpower and enthusiasm for projects such as bedroom and garden makeovers.
