On May 17th, I will be pushing myself to the limit by running 100k along the Jurassic Coast to raise money for Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity, an organisation that has supported my family since our son Fred's Galloway-Mowat Syndrome (GMS) diagnosis.

Why Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity?

Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity provides life-changing early intervention therapy and support to children with cerebral palsy and other motor learning difficulties, helping them reach their full potential. Their specialist programs, expert team, and family centered approach ensure that children with complex needs receive the best possible start in life.

How They’ve Helped Freddie

Since Freddie’s diagnosis, Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity has given him amazing opportunities to thrive through hydrotherapy sessions, music therapy, and conductive education.

For us, this charity has been a place of hope, support, and inclusion. They see beyond a diagnosis and focus on what each child can achieve.

Why This Challenge Matters

This run is about more than just a personal challenge. It’s for Fred, and for the incredible work Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity does.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help ensure more children can access the therapy and care they need.

If you’re able to donate, we would be truly grateful.

Thank you so much for all your support!
