We’re taking on 12 races in 12 months to support a cause that’s incredibly close to our hearts.

Our daughter Eliza was diagnosed with a haemangioma when she was born, also known as a strawberry birth mark on her left cheek Like many parents in that situation, we were overwhelmed at first—suddenly learning about a condition we’d never heard of, worrying about the potential impact this may have on her vision

Thankfully, with the right appointments and medication, Eliza completed treatment and the appearance of her strawberry has hugely improved. However, she still has her birthmark and this is likely to stay with her for the rest of her life

That’s why we’re fundraising for the Birthmark Support Group—a charity that provides vital guidance, resources, and community for families affected by birthmarks and vascular conditions.

To show our support, we’re committing to running 12 races over the next 12 months with the target of completing a sub 3 hour marathon in April 2027

From cold mornings to tired legs, every mile we run is for children like Eliza and the families who are experiencing the same as us

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us. And if you can’t, sharing this page helps just as much.
