Thank you for taking the time to visit my just giving page!

I am incredibly proud to be running the 2026 London Marathon for Haven House Children’s Hospice a charity very close to my heart, where I have the privilege of providing physiotherapy services alongside my amazing Kids Physio London team.

This marathon journey has been three years in the making.

The past two years have tested me more than I ever imagined.

In 2024, I was forced to withdraw due to bilateral tibial compression syndrome.

In 2025, a hip stress fracture made it impossible to reach the start line.

Each setback was disappointing, but each one also deepened my determination.

This journey has taken on a much greater meaning for me. The children and families at Haven House face challenges far greater than a missed marathon. Every single day, they show extraordinary courage, resilience, and strength in the face of life-limiting conditions.

So 2026 is the year.....

All the early mornings, the long training runs, the rehabilitation, the grit — every single step I take will be dedicated to the incredible children I work with who battle daily and never give up.

I am more determined than ever to cross that finish line for them.

If you are able to support, please help me break through the £5,000 target. Every donation makes a real difference to the outstanding and compassionate care Haven House provides.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already supported me on this journey and to those who may still be able to.

Let’s make 2026 the year we do this together. 💜

With love

Donna Nicol

For sure it will be one hell of a celebration when I cross that finish line! :))
