šŸƒā€ā™‚ļø My First Marathon & A Big Goal for Street Child

Frenchy is raising money for Street Child

Leeds Marathon / Valencia Super Half

Street Child's SuperHalfs Team are taking on 6 Half Marathons across 2026 to help Street Child ensure that children are safe, in school and learning.

Story

On 10 May 2026, I’ll be taking on my first ever marathon at the Leeds Marathon—a huge personal milestone and a challenge I’ve never attempted before.

But I’m not stopping there.

On 25 October 2026, I’ll also be running the Valencia Half Marathon, aiming for a sub 1 hour 45 minute finish time.

I’m doing all of this to raise money for an incredible charity: Street Child.

šŸŒ Why Street Child?

Street Child works to ensure every child has access to education, no matter where they are born.

They focus on some of the world’s toughest places, helping children who are affected by:

• Poverty

• Conflict

• Natural disasters

Their approach is simple but powerful:

• Support families so children can go to school

• Build and improve schools in underserved communities

• Provide long-term, sustainable solutions—not just short-term aid

Since their founding, they’ve helped millions of children access education and build better futures.

šŸ’Ŗ Why This Matters to Me

Running a marathon is a massive personal challenge—but it’s nothing compared to the challenges many children face just to get an education.

That’s why I wanted to push myself physically and mentally, while also doing something meaningful that can make a real difference.

šŸŽÆ My Fundraising Goal

I’m aiming to raise Ā£400 to support the life-changing work of Street Child.

Every donation—no matter how small—will help provide:

• Access to education

• Safe learning environments

• Opportunities for a brighter future

šŸ™Œ How You Can Help

If you’re able to support, I’d be incredibly grateful.

• Donate whatever you can

Together, we can make a real impact.

ā¤ļø Thank You
