Hi! 👋 I am Kate and I am running the London Marathon on 27th April 2025 to support Barnardo’s, a charity who help so many families across the UK.

To be able to represent both National Gas and Barnardo’s is SO special and I am truly grateful to have a place running in this most iconic event.

Barnardo’s is a charity that does so much to protect young people in need and I want to continue to support them in any way I can. In October 2023, I ran the Cardiff Half Marathon with my colleague, Istvan, and together we raised over £1,000. In my role as Wellbeing Champion at National Gas, I have encouraged people to reap the physical and mental benefits of exercise by taking part in a series of Step Challenges, which has raised money for the company target through participant donations. The London Marathon is another opportunity for me to continue my fundraising and help this very worthy charity.

On a personal note, I am also a mum to two little girls who mean everything to me. As a parent, I could not imagine the hardship that some young children face every day. This is my opportunity to make a difference to the lives of both the children and their families.

Barnardo’s - “We're here to help children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful – and have somewhere they feel they belong”

Thank you for reading and supporting my cause.

Kate
