Story

I’m running the London Marathon in 2026 to raise money for Family Holiday Charity, a cause that means a lot to me. I’ve been lucky to grow up in a family that values being active, and some of my happiest memories come from holidays spent outdoors, exploring, swimming, playing games, and simply enjoying time together. Those experiences shaped who I am and helped build my love for health, movement, and wellbeing.

As I’ve got older, I’ve realised that being able to go on holiday is something I’ve probably taken for granted. For many families, time away just isn’t possible. Family Holiday Charity supports families who are facing incredibly difficult situations. That might be due to low income, illness, bereavement, or caring responsibilities. The charity gives them the chance to take a much-needed break together. Often it’s their very first holiday, and it can have a lasting impact on their confidence, relationships, and mental health.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, it will go directly toward helping a family have time to breathe, reconnect, and make memories. Thank you so much for your support, it really does make a difference.
