I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise funds for the Railway Benefit Fund.

The Railway Benefit Fund, also known as RBF, is a charity which provides support to current, former and retired railway people and their families across the UK.

Last year RBF helped over 1,000 railway people, many struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis. For some, simply putting food on the table for their children has been a difficulty.

I am running to make a difference, set an ambitious goal for myself and raise money for those who need it.
