Story
I’m running the London Marathon to raise money and awareness for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association — a charity that does an incredible amount to support families like mine.
My second son, Elijah, is 2 years old. He was diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) at just 6 months old after suffering seizures. Since then, life has become a cycle of hospital visits, scans, and appointments. The hardest part is the uncertainty — not knowing how it will affect him as he grows.
Throughout all of this, the Tuberous Sclerosis Association has been there. They provide information, guidance, and real support to families navigating something that can feel overwhelming and isolating. What they do genuinely makes a difference.
TSC is a rare genetic condition that causes tumours to develop in different parts of the body, often the brain, kidneys, heart, skin, eyes, and lungs. It can lead to epilepsy, autism, learning difficulties, and other serious health issues. No two cases are the same, which makes it unpredictable and difficult to diagnose.
I’m running the London Marathon as a dad, because it’s something I can do. I can’t change what Elijah is facing, but I can support the people who are helping families like ours every single day.
If you’re able to donate, it would mean a great deal to us. And if not, please take a few minutes to read about TSC and share this — awareness genuinely matters.
Thank you.
