I’m proud (and a little nervous!) to share that I’ll be taking on the 2025 London Marathon to raise money for Barnardo’s.

For those who know me, you’ll know that fostering has been a big part of my life for nearly 10 years. Alongside my mum and sister, I’ve had the privilege of being part of a foster family, welcoming many foster children into our home. I’m lucky enough to still be in touch with several of them, whether they’re now with their forever families, guardians, or back with their birth families. (You’ve probably heard me talk fondly about this before!)

Being part of a child’s journey – seeing them grow and flourish, even if only for a short time – is something I’ll never take for granted. I know first-hand how life-changing fostering is for children and how essential foster families are.

Running the London Marathon has always been on my bucket list, but doing it to raise funds for Barnardo’s, a charity so close to my heart, makes it even more special. Barnardo’s does incredible work supporting vulnerable children and families, and their mission will remain close to me for many years to come.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference to children’s lives.

Thank you so much for your support!
