On the 20 Dec 2026. I, alongside Joscaidy Abreu Talbot & John Wardley are taking on the PHOENIX BEDFORDSHIRE The Gingerbread Run as a personal half-marathon challenge to support Veterans Aid. These vital funds will help veterans in a housing disposition over the festive period.

The festive period is a poignant time of year, where we come together with our families. There are an overwhelming number of veterans on the streets, your donation will help put a roof over their head this year.

The half marathon route is along a scenic trail around Marston Vale Millennium Country Park, every step will represent something bigger than a finish time. It will be a step toward helping former service men and women find safety, warmth, and dignity at a time of year when support matters most. For many veterans, the festive season can be especially difficult, and this fundraiser is a way to stand beside them with compassion and practical help.

We are aiming to raise £250+ to help Veterans Aid continue its vital work supporting those who have served. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference and help ensure that no veteran is left to face Christmas without a safe place to turn.

Please support this challenge if you can. Together, we can turn one marathon effort into lasting hope for veterans in need.
