I’m so excited (and slightly terrified!) to say that I’ve been lucky enough to get a place in the London Marathon 2026, along with 19 others from my running club, Run With Purpose (RWP). We’ll be running it together as a team, raising money for the Positive Youth Foundation (PYF) in Coventry.

PYF do incredible work supporting young people in our city – giving them safe spaces, mentoring, education, and opportunities to grow and thrive. They really do change lives, and it feels special to be able to run for such a brilliant cause.

Joining RWP has honestly been one of the best things I’ve ever done. For me, the running and fitness have always just been a bonus – the real gift has been meeting new people and, as scary as it was to put myself out there, making connections and becoming part of this fabulous community. RWP are the best bunch of humans, and I’ve truly made friends for life. I’m so excited to be taking on this challenge with them!

In the words of Ry, our founder: “Everyone can do hard things – and you don’t even know it!”

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean so much to me (and the rest of the team!) and will go a long way in helping young people in Coventry.

Thank you for all your support ❤️
