On the 11th October 2026, seven of us will be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for an incredible charity that touched our lives in the most meaningful way.

Our team consists of Sam, Shaun, Michelle, Mandy, Danny, Talia and Michael.

We are running in memory of our beautiful Ari, whose courage, determination and spirit continue to inspire us every day.

During Ari's illness, we experienced first hand the extraordinary difference that Spread a Smile makes to children and families facing the unimaginable. At times when life felt overwhelming, they brought moments of happiness, laughter and light. Those moments mattered more than words can describe.

This charity does far more than entertain. They create moments of normality, connection and happiness for children and families navigating the most difficult journeys imaginable.

We are running for Ari. We are running for every child and family who needs a reason to smile. And we are running to help Spread a Smile continue their remarkable work.

If you are able to support us, no matter how big or small the donation, we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for helping us honour Ari's memory and support a charity that will always hold a special place in our hearts.

For Ari. Always. ❤️
