Entering the London Marathon has been a dream of mine for over five years, and after multiple attempts, I’m finally in!

I've faced countless rejections, difficult training sessions, and moments of self-doubt. Juggling training with work and life responsibilities hasn’t been easy, and pushing through has tested my limits. This will be the furthest road race I’ve ever done, and the challenge ahead feels both exciting and daunting.

But what has kept me going is the opportunity to run for Nottinghamshire Hospice, a cause that means so much to all of us here at Marksman. Every mile of running has been made worthwhile by the chance to raise awareness and funds for this incredible charity.

The hospice offers expert support through free-of-charge palliative and end of life care, helping individuals live as well as possible, while also providing vital emotional and practical support for families.

The strength and courage shown by those supported by the hospice inspire us every day, and that’s what will carry me through the toughest moments on race day.

Their compassionate team works tirelessly to ensure patients receive the dignity and comfort they deserve, at a time when it matters most.

Every donation made will directly contribute to helping those facing the toughest of times, and your support means the world to me, and the whole Marksman team.

Thank you so much for your support!!
