I’m so excited (and a little nervous!) to share that I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to run the London Marathon on April 26, 2026.

I’ll be running to raise funds for the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation, in support of the brilliant charity Changing Tunes. The work they do is truly life-changing, and I feel honoured to be part of the team. #teamCT

🌟 Here’s the amazing bit: for every £1 raised for Changing Tunes, SJP will match it, meaning your kind donation will be doubled — helping not just Changing Tunes but also hundreds of other charities supported by the SJP Charitable Foundation.

A little about me…

I honestly can’t believe I’m doing this! I was always the first to skip PE at school, and even though I’ve been running for a while now, I still don’t really consider myself “a runner” 😂 and now I’m going to be running 26.2 miles in one go!! Which is like running from Tewkesbury to Bath or Penzance to Truro!!!

Running the London Marathon has been a bucket-list dream of mine for a while now and I feel so lucky I get to do it!! ☺️ It will be my biggest challenge yet — having only run one half marathon before (with my second coming up this September!)

🏃‍♀️ Cheltenham half 5.9.21 - 2:26

A little about Changing Tunes…

Changing Tunes uses the power of music to help people live crime-free, creative and meaningful lives.

They deliver music-making programmes in schools, secure children’s homes, young offender institutions, prisons and post-release. They even run a record label that supports talented artists with lived experience of prison or the criminal justice system.

Their vision is powerful:

• A future where every at-risk young person, every person in prison, and everyone leaving prison has access to life-changing music-making opportunities.

• A genuinely rehabilitative justice system that fosters transformation, redemption and new beginnings.

• A society where vulnerable people are supported to unlock their full potential.
