My name is Lloyd Martin and I’m on a mission to show the world that people with Down Syndrome can do anything they set their minds to! 🌟

This year, I'll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon (6 April) and the Royal Parks Half Marathon (12 October) for Variety, the Children's Charity.

Too many children with disabilities aren't given the opportunity to experience many sports and leisure activities which are so important for their health and wellbeing. With the help of Variety donating mini buses to specialist schools like my own it enables us to access these activities which otherwise wouldn't be available to us. I was lucky to have experienced these activities with the help of a sunshine coach. I want to be able to help other school children enjoy sports that should be available to all.
