I'm lacing up my running shoes for the Cambridge Half as part of 'Team Tom'. Tom's Trust is a charity, started in Cambridge, which provides vital clinical psychology to change the lives of children with brain tumours.

I will be pounding the pavements to raise money for vital clinical psychologists, who will support these little warriors and their families following the devastating diagnosis of a brain tumour. Tom's Trust are the UK’s only charity dedicated to this mission, with hundreds of families being helped every year thanks to you, our generous donors.

This year, I am not only running to change my own life. I am running to make a profound impact on the lives of others. As a testament to the collective impact we can have when we unite for a greater cause, Tom's Trust children will be representing a different landmark along the course.

Let's change the future, one stride at a time. Your generosity and support is key to making a lasting impact. Thank you.
