In April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon in support of Pratham UK - an organisation whose mission is close to my heart.

I visit India regularly to see my relatives in Ambala, and each time I’m struck by the same heartbreaking sight - so many children on the streets instead of in school. Their potential is endless, but without access to education, their opportunities are painfully limited.

Pratham is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people in India by providing them with access to quality education, skills training, and the opportunity to dream bigger. Their values of empowerment, equity, and community uplift fully align with my own, and I believe that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and reach their potential.

By supporting my run, you’re not just helping me cross the finish line - you’re helping to bridge the education gap for millions of young people in India. Every donation, big or small, goes directly towards giving them the tools, skills, and confidence to create brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

This marathon will be a challenge, but nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by those without access to quality education. Together, we can make a real difference.

Please donate, share, and join me on this journey. Let’s turn every mile into an opportunity for change.
