I'm very excited to be running London Marathon 2027 to raise Money for Metal For Good - an incredible charity that funds projects that use music to change lives. It's a small charity driven by the music community, so everything we raise makes a real difference - any donation, big or small, helps.

I'm not a natural runner - It's something I've come to love, but often feels like I'm forcing my body to do something it wasn't designed to do. As well as aiming to raise as much as possible for Metal For Good, I'm setting myself an ambitious goal for myself for the marathon - and I'm going to need all the encouragement I can get over the next 6 months.

METAL FOR GOOD:

Fuelled by the unstoppable energy of the metal community, Metal For Good funds projects that use music to improve mental health, unlock young potential, and amplify underrepresented voices - because metal is more than music, it’s a movement.

The rock and metal community is truly unique. We’re brought together by a shared love of great music and a deep sense of belonging. We feel part of something bigger - accepted, understood, and supported, like someone’s always got our back.

Music is transformational. Whether playing, listening or watching live - it can be an escape when you are struggling, give you a voice when you feel unheard, bring people together, and give you the confidence and skills to thrive.

Through their fundraising, Metal For Good provide grants to community organisations that use music to change lives. Previously funded projects include The Music Works, Heads Above The Waves and Gig Buddies.
