Story

In 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon in memory of my dad, who sadly passed away in 2014 after taking his own life.

I’m running for Mind, a charity that means a lot to me personally. After losing my dad, Mind was there — providing support, understanding, and a safe space when everything felt impossible. Their work changes lives every day by helping people struggling with their mental health, and I want to do my part to give something back.

Every mile I run will be for my dad — for the moments we shared, for the laughter, and for all the memories I hold so close. But I’ll also be running for everyone who has ever felt lost, alone, or in pain. Mental health matters, and no one should have to face it without help.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world to me. Your support will help Mind continue their incredible work — offering hope, help, and a lifeline to so many.

Thank you for reading my story, for supporting me, and for helping to make a difference 💙
