Running the London Marathon has been a lifelong dream — something I’ve always wanted to achieve. In 2026, that dream becomes a reality, and I’m incredibly proud to be doing it in support of a truly inspiring organisation: Manchester Foundation Trust Charity.

This opportunity was made possible thanks to our amazing business partners at Cardinal Logistics, and I’m honoured to represent such a fantastic cause on one of the world’s biggest marathon stages.

Manchester Foundation Trust Charity raises vital funds to support hospitals, clinical services, and local care organisations across the North West of England. Every year, over 2 million patients benefit from the world-class care these services provide — and the charity is there to ensure they receive the very best treatment in the very best facilities.

As a charity, patients are at the heart of everything they do. The funds raised help to:

- Purchase state-of-the-art equipment for diagnosis and treatment

- Support pioneering medical research to improve how illnesses are understood and treated

- Create welcoming, friendly environments that help patients and their families feel at ease during their time in hospital

It’s a cause that makes a real, lasting difference — and I’m proud to play a small part in supporting their work.

Running the London Marathon will be an incredible experience. Every km will be powered by the knowledge that it’s helping to support better care, better research, and better outcomes for people who need it most.

Thank you for your support — let’s make every step count!
