In 2024, our son Matthew passed away tragically. Before his death, Matthew made plans with friends to raise funds for PPES by undertaking an auto rickshaw journey across India, travelling from Kochi to Jaisalmer (approx. 3000km).

To honour Matthew’s memory I completed the journey and took the opportunity to visit to the school in Uttar Pradesh where I witnessed, firsthand, the difference PPES make to so many young girls’ lives by providing valuable education. The experience was both humbling and inspiring.

I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon as I continue to raise money for PPES as part of Matthew’s legacy and hope you will be able to support me.
