From London to Berlin – Running for a Second Chance at Life 💚

Berlin Marathon 2027 | Running for Anthony Nolan 🏃‍♂️

In September 2027, I’ll be taking on the Berlin Marathon, running 26.2 miles to raise money for the incredible charity Anthony Nolan.

For me, though, this is about much more than running a marathon.

Cancer has touched my family personally.

When my nephew was just a toddler, he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, he survived, but what he and our family went through has stayed with me ever since.

Not every family gets the happy ending we were fortunate enough to experience. That’s why I want to do whatever I can to help make a difference.

In 2026, I ran the London Marathon for Young Lives vs Cancer and, thanks to the incredible generosity of friends, family and supporters, raised £3,746.

That experience showed me how much can be achieved when people come together for a good cause.

Now it’s time for the next chapter. London was just the beginning. Next stop, Berlin! 🇩🇪

This time, I’m incredibly proud to be running for Anthony Nolan, a charity that gives people with blood cancer and blood disorders a second chance at life.

Through its stem cell donor register, lifesaving transplant work, research and patient support, Anthony Nolan offers hope to people and families facing some of the toughest moments imaginable.

Alongside my training, I’ll be organising fundraising events throughout the year, including events at our restaurants. Last year, one of our Mamma Mia-themed evenings raised over £2,000 for charity, and I’m hoping we can create something just as special on the road to Berlin.

Every donation, big or small, genuinely means the world to me.

Whether you donate, share this page, attend one of our fundraising events or simply cheer me on, you’ll be supporting a cause that can change lives.

I’ll be putting in the miles and doing the hard work, hoping to cross the finish line in Berlin knowing that, together, we’ve made a real difference.

26.2 miles. One incredible cause. The chance to help save lives. 💚

Thank you so much for your support.
