Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m raising money for British Forces Foundation and it’d be awesome if you could help!

Why am I running for the British Forces Foundation? When I was Manager of Northampton Town Football Club (Feb 2021 - Dec 2024). Part of our pre - season was spent at Kendrew Barracks (British Army). I wanted the players to understand and experience first hand from the soldiers real leadership and what it takes to deliver under extreme pressure.

Could we create an environment where players are extremely motivated to something bigger than themselves.

Erik Rawdon (Regimental Sergent Major) Now Warrent Officer Class 1 and Carl Blackburn (Regimental Sergent Major) both delivered a masterclass over several days with some amazing team building exercises to bring the players together on so many levels.

Over several seasons Erik & Carl attended matches delivered pre match speeches to the players and the connection was strong.

This helped build a solid foundation for our success over the years and for that I am truly grateful.

The British Forces are so integral to our country, whilst I have the opportunity and privilege to run the London Marathon in my 50th year on this planet. I would like to do this for all our forces that protect our country.

My Goal for the Marathon

1. Finish - non negotiable

2. Finish under 4hrs - Silver

3. Finish under 3hrs 30minutes would be the Gold for me!
