Story

In April, Rachel and I will be taking on the incredible challenge of the London Marathon. We’re running to raise vital funds for the Meningitis Research Foundation, a charity close to our hearts.

This cause means so much to us because we are running in memory of Seb Randle, a dear friend’s little boy who tragically died of meningitis at the age of 3 months. He had an incredibly rare strain of meningitis and Seb’s story reminds us why research, awareness, and support are so urgently needed — to prevent other families from experiencing such devastating loss.

Every step we take will be for Seb, and for all those affected by meningitis. Your support will help fund life-saving research, raise awareness, and provide support for families when they need it most.

And yes — Rachel and I are both over 50, so this marathon is not just a test of endurance, but also a celebration of determination, friendship, and proving that it’s never too late to take on something extraordinary.

💜 Please consider donating and sharing our page — together we can make a difference.
