In April 2026, I’ll be taking on the incredible challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon and I’m doing it for a cause that’s deeply personal to me.

I’ve chosen to run for Stand By Me after experiencing the sudden and devastating loss of my mum in an accident. Even now, six years on, I still struggle with that loss. In those difficult days, I found it hard to access the right support, and I know first-hand how isolating grief can be.

As someone who also works with young people navigating their own journeys through loss, I’ve seen just how tough it can be to cope. Stand By Me made a difference for me when I needed it most, and they’ve supported the young people I teach in ways I’ll always be grateful for.

Every donation you give will help them continue their incredible work providing comfort, understanding, and hope to those who need it most.

This will be a huge physical and emotional challenge for me, but I’m determined and excited to cross that finish line, knowing that every step is helping to change lives.

Thank you so much for donating whatever you can your support truly means the world.
