Story

On Saturday October 3rd I will be completing the iconic Palace for Life Marathon March and one week later, on Sunday 11th October 2026, I’ll be running the iconic Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise vital funds for the Palace for Life Foundation.

Growing up in south London has never been tougher, but through the work of Palace for Life, we have the opportunity to drive positive change. They work in schools and communities, inspiring young people to choose better paths and lead healthier lives. Your donations will directly support their work, creating real impact for real people.

Here’s how your support can make a difference:

£5 could provide a child with sensory support through a set of ear defenders.

£25 could fund an hour-long employability coaching session for a young person.

£35 could buy new, smart shoes for a young person starting their first job.

£58 could buy an under-16 a passport, opening up new opportunities.

Every donation helps make a tangible impact on the lives of young people in south London.

Thank you for your support!
