After successfully securing a place in the London Marathon ballot again, I decided that this time I wanted to give back, to fundraise and help raise awareness for an incredible local charity doing amazing work.

That is why I have chosen to run 26.2 miles (42km) for Oxford Head Injury Services.

Follow my progress and updates here as I begin my 16 weeks of training in January 2026.

Thank you in advance for your support. Your contributions will make a real difference to the service users and their families in Oxfordshire.
