On April 27th I'll be running my first ever marathon (LONDON!) and raising money for Sported.

Sported is the largest Sport for Development charity in the UK. They focus on supporting small community groups that might not get access to support from the larger charities or National Governing Bodies.

If you know me, you'll know I'm huge not only on Sport, but on social mobility.

I've been on the Board of Sported since last year and have been incredibly impressed by their commitment to wanting every young person to have the same opportunity to fulfil their potential, and using sport as a mechanism for this. Their work is incredibly important in helping community groups to survive, which is especially important given current funding pressures.

I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to run London Marathon and to fundraise for Sported. Your support is appreciated!
