The TCS London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress. Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.

In 2027, I will be taking it on and will be supporting East Anglian Air Ambulance! I was planning to run in 2026, but a meniscus tear stopped training..

East Anglian Air Ambulance receives no regular government funding and relies entirely on the support of the community.

The crews are tasked an average of 8 times a day across the two bases, with each mission costing around £4,250. They can reach anywhere in the region within 25 minutes when every second can make the difference to a patient in their time of need.

Thank you so much for supporting me, every penny will help to save lives across East Anglia and I am so thankful for the opportunity to make a contribution with your help!
