Running for Shelter, Running for Hope! 🏃

In April 2026, I’ll finally be ticking off a huge personal goal: running a marathon! I’ve entered the London Marathon ballot several times but never got the chance—until now. Thanks to Arch Insurance and the amazing charity ShelterBox UK, I’ve been given this incredible opportunity.

I’ve always wanted to say I’ve run a marathon, but honestly, I never felt brave enough to take the plunge. During the COVID lockdown, I started running just to keep active, and it’s grown into a real passion. Now, I’m taking on the ultimate challenge—and I couldn’t be more excited (at least before the training gets really tough!).

Why ShelterBox?

ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and essential supplies to families who have lost everything after disasters and conflicts. When homes are destroyed and lives turned upside down, ShelterBox steps in with practical help and hope—delivering tents, tools, blankets, and life-saving essentials to people in crisis all over the world. Their work means safety, dignity, and a chance to rebuild.
