I will be running the London Marathon on the 27th April 2025 for The Tom Henson Charity.

In 2018, Tom died playing football aged 23 from a cardiac arrest caused by an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. The Tom Henson Charity was set up in his memory by his family.

Nicki, Shaun, Joe and Tom's family and friends have done incredible work raising money to purchase, fit and maintain 25 publicly accessible defibrillators, some of which have been funded directly by groups/companies. The charity have also donated 6 defibrillators to Community Frist Responder groups and maintain a further 6 (soon to be 7) at other private locations. 36 of the soon to be 38 defibrillators are local to the Bolsover, Chesterfield or Mansfield area (two in Hereford). This is a small charity so every penny is welcome.

Tom was an absolute legend and I couldnt think of anyone more fitting than him to run the marathon for and will keep him heavily in my thoughts on race day to power me through when the going gets tough and if I raise a bit of money through the pain then so be it...!

Any donations for this worthy cause would be gratefully received.
