I’m really excited (and slightly nervous!) to share that I will be running the London Marathon on April 26, 2026, to raise funds for National Gas’ charity partner, Barnardo’s. This will be a huge challenge as it’s my first marathon, but I’m incredibly motivated to be doing it in aid of such a good cause.

Having experienced a close friend receive support from Barnardo’s during a tough time in their childhood, I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact their assistance can have and it’s rewarding to think of the money raised helping others in a similar way.

I would really appreciate any support, small or large, in reaching my donation target of £2,400 and National Gas’ target of £100,000 in aid of this amazing cause.

- £5 could give a young person leaving care three one-to-one sessions with a personal advisor.

- £10 could provide specialist play equipment for children living with disabilities.

- £25 could provide a young person with bedding and a safe place to sleep.

- £50 could provide specialist support to help a child recover from the trauma of sexual abuse.

- £100 provides four communication devices for children with autism.

- £250 pays for five young people to get a new set of clothes for interviews.

- £500 provides a motorised chair for a disabled child.

Please spread the word and help gather even more support!

Thank you! 😊
