Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In October 2026, I’ll be attempting the Royal Parks Half Marathon — a full 13.1 miles around London. As many of you are aware: I am not a runner, more used to dashing to an agreeable lunch than the finish line, so this should be… interesting.

I’m doing it to raise money for The Sick Children’s Trust, a charity that provides a free “Home from Home” for families with seriously ill children in hospital, so they can stay close during incredibly tough times.

It’s a simple but hugely important idea - keeping families together when it matters most and providing stability and normality

So while I’ll no doubt be questioning myself somewhere around mile 7, it’s nothing compared to what these families go through. That perspective will (hopefully) keep me moving.

If you can donate, any amount, large or small, I’d really appreciate it — every contribution helps support families who truly need it. And if not, moral support is also very welcome.

Thanks for backing me (and this slightly questionable decision).
