Running and racing

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

During 2025 I’m running the London, Edinburgh, and Chicago marathons and racing my Caterham for WellChild, the UK national charity for sick kids.

WellChild is a wonderful organisation that helps families care for very sick kids at home. Over the last couple of years I’ve been privileged to run in NY and London for them and get to meet a few of the amazing team and some of the brilliant kids they care for.

This year I want to take it to the next level and as well as running have had some of the WellChild kids design the Caterham car I race in. I hope to raise awareness of WellChild and have some of the families join me at races.

The car looks fantastic (check out the gallery!) and I'd love to thank...

>> The remarkable design team: Nicholas, Rhys, Oscar, Noah, Oscar W, Theo W, Lewis, George (amazing creativity from everyone)
