Story

I’m running the London Marathon 2026! 🏃‍♀️

In 2026 I’ll be taking on the London Marathon in support of Sussex Homeless Support—a small charity that’s very close to my heart.

The charity grew out of The Rucksack Project, founded by my brother Stuart and his friend Jim. Stuart poured his heart into helping others, and when I lost him in July 2021, I knew one day I had to continue that legacy. Running this marathon is my way of honouring him while raising vital funds for the cause he believed in so deeply.

Sussex Homeless Support offers food, advocacy, and real support to people facing homelessness—people who are too often overlooked or made to feel invisible. Because homelessness isn’t just about not having an address. It can mean battling physical and mental health struggles, substance misuse, and the crushing isolation of feeling unseen.

This run is for my brother. This run is for everyone who deserves to be seen, heard, and given a helping hand.

If you can, please donate and support both Sussex Homeless Support and my marathon challenge. Every pound raised will go directly to helping those who need it most.

Thank You 🩷
