Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well… turned out the 2025 London Marathon had to manage without me chasing the elite pack in my questionable lycra.

Having deferred my place to 2026 after an autoimmune diagnosis — apparently my immune system thought training for a marathon wasn’t challenging enough and decided to add its own obstacle course.

But here’s the good news: I’m now ready and raring for a big 12 months of rehab, recovery, and training. Basically, I’ve upgraded from “Couch to 5K” to “Couch to Medical Marvel.”

Massive thanks to Angelman UK for supporting the deferral and all of you who’ve helped us raise thousands of pounds already — we are not done yet! The fundraising continues (so does my hunt for the most aerodynamic fancy dress costume).

See you on the start line in 2026 — I’ll be the one overtaking Mo Farah… in my dreams.
