I'm running a marathon for MK SNAP!

Running a marathon has been on my bucket list for a long time. I love being outdoors, I love a challenge, and completing 26.2 miles is something I've always wanted to be able to say I've done.

I perhaps hadn't planned on doing it quite yet… but my wife Candice took care of that part and entered me without telling me!

There couldn't be a better charity for me to run for than MK SNAP.

My wife runs Mother Cuppa Tea, and SNAP has become a really important part of that business. Their learners help to pack Mother Cuppa's teas and have been there as the business has grown from a small start-up into something much bigger.

We've visited SNAP, met the learners and seen first-hand the work they do. It's a relationship that means a huge amount to both of us. The learners take such pride in what they do, and being able to work with them has brought us so much joy.

The truth is, Mother Cuppa couldn't have grown in the way it has without them.

So I'm running this marathon for every SNAP learner who has packed a Mother Cuppa box, helped the business grow and become part of our story.

Now it's our turn to give something back.

I've committed to raising at least £3,000 for MK SNAP and I'd love your help getting there. Whether you can donate £5, £10, £50 or simply share this page, every bit of support will help an organisation that means a great deal to our family.

And I suppose I'd better start running.
