I'm so proud to have been chosen for the London Marathon 2026 as part of the Parkrun Team.

Tim and I were first introduced to Parkrun in 2022 by my brother-in-law, Kevin, (his first parkrun being in 2013) on a family camping trip and we were hooked. Tim, already an exercise enthusiast, had always wanted to run the London Marathon but was never successful in getting a place, so it seemed fitting to continue his quest. He was always suggesting I did more running events to improve, although I can imagine him saying "I didn't mean 26 miles!!". 😂

My training has started, and I've got my first ever half marathon in November so your support on this exciting but scary journey is greatly appreciated.
