🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ New Forest Marathon 2026 for Maggie’s 🌳

On Sunday, September 13th, I’ll be taking on the New Forest Marathon to raise vital funds for the incredible team at Maggie’s.

Why it matters

Cancer turns lives upside down overnight. Maggie’s provides free, professional emotional and practical support to patients and their loved ones in warm, welcoming centres when everything feels overwhelming.

The Motivation

As a dad of two, staying fit is a constant race against time. My kids are growing up fast, and I’m doing everything I can to stay healthy—and delay the inevitable day they can easily outrun me!

The big picture

Training for 26.2 miles is my way of testing my own health while helping others who are fighting for theirs. It’s a chance to turn everyday fitness into tangible support for families navigating a cancer diagnosis.

How your support makes a real difference:

£30 could help pay for an hour of specialist advice and support.

£60 could help pay for an exercise class for up to 10 people.

£100 could help pay for a two-hour Managing Stress workshop.

£250 could help pay for a six-week Bereavement course.

£3,000 could help keep Maggie’s Southampton open for a day.

Any donation, big or small, makes a genuine impact and will keep me going through those long training miles!

Thank you so much for your support! 💙
