As many of you will be aware, I have been taking on a year of running fundraising challenges for Break.

These have included running 5k each day for a month, 5k runs, 10k runs, half marathons and more!

I have even told some jokes on the way round....

Now I am taking on my ultimate bucket list challenge - The TCS London Marathon on April 26, 2026.

I am honoured to receive a place to run for Break - a Norfolk based charity who give vulnerable children and young people the time, support, and care they need to achieve their full potential.

Whatever a child’s start in life, they believe that with the right support there is no limit to what they can achieve. Through innovation, lifelong relationships, and keeping our young people at the heart of what they do, they are transforming futures and changing lives.

Please support me if you can, it would mean the world to me!
