I’m proud to be taking on the London Marathon to raise money for Footprints 2 Africa, a charity providing essential ostomy supplies to people in severe need.

As an ostomate myself, this cause is very close to my heart. I couldn’t imagine facing each day without the supplies I need, yet for many people across Africa, that is their reality. Some are forced to use bread bags and other unsafe alternatives, often leading to painful infections, isolation and rejection.

Having seen the challenges they face, I want to do something that will make a difference. By speed walking the London Marathon with my guide support runner, Guy Sowry, we hope to raise funds to help get essential supplies to those who need them, giving people hope and the dignity and security that every ostomate deserves.

Every donation, big or small, will help. Thank you for supporting me and Footprints 2 Africa. 🏃‍♂️
