After 15 years of entering the ballot, I am thrilled to finally secure a place in the 2026 London Marathon! What makes it even more special is that I'll be running it on my 42nd birthday.

I'm proud to be running in support of Mouth Cancer Foundation and sister-in-law Laura Naden, who become an ambassador for the charity following the tragic death of her father Gordon Hills in 2018.

This is an opportunity to raise awareness and much needed funds for a charity that does so much incredible work.

Every donation, big or small would mean the world to me!
