Story

On the 26th of April 2026, I will be running the London Marathon, 19 years after the last time I ran it. This time, I will don my full CRICKET KIT (pads, bat, gloves and helmet).....more photos to follow!

Running for my Dad and Grandpa.

My previous marathon experience was shared with my Grandpa who, sadly, passed away last year after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's.

This upcoming run holds even greater significance as may Dad, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 18 months ago. We are committed to supporting him through this challenging journey.

Alzheimer's Research UK is the leading research charity in the UK dedicated to combating dementia. Every three minutes, dementia steals a happily ever after from families like ours. Research is our only hope for changing the narrative for those affected by this devastating condition. Your generous donations will empower scientists and researchers to discover new ways to diagnose dementia, develop innovative treatments, and ultimately find a cure.

I am aiming to raise £3,500 for this vital cause. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against dementia. Please consider supporting me on this journey by donating today and sharing our mission: https://bit.ly/ARUKForACure.
