On Sunday 26th April 2026, I’ll be one of four runners taking on the TCS London Marathon to raise money for Cardiff & Vale Health Charity.

Having worked in the NHS as a Physiotherapy Technical Instructor in Neurorehabilitation and now Adult Mental Health—and having undergone ACL reconstruction myself in June 2024—I’ve seen first-hand the vital impact of Cardiff and Vale Health Board.

By running this marathon, I hope to support the continued improvement of our services and highlight the powerful role exercise plays in mental health. On a personal note, I also want to raise awareness of stammering and show that challenges can be overcome.

Any donation, big or small, would mean a great deal as I work towards (and hopefully exceed!) my £2,500 target.
