Story
I'm delighted to be running the 2025 London Marathon on 27th April in aid of The Anne Frank Trust, an amazing charity focussed on empowering young people to challenge antisemitism and all forms of prejudice, which has never been more important given the current sociopolitical climate.
I've shared a bit more about the charity and the amazing work they do below. I'm honoured to be running the marathon in aid of the organisation, and any donations, big or small, make a huge difference and are greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your support!

Learning from Anne Frank and the Holocaust, the Anne Frank Trust empowers children aged 9-15 to challenge all forms of prejudice.
The Anne Frank Trust's core programmes cover antisemitism and all forms of prejudice. They train young people as peer educators so they can share their learning across their school community.
The Anne Frank Trust's anti-prejudice work has never been so relevant. By promoting understanding and equipping young people with the courage to stand up to discrimination in their communities, schools and online - we all stand to benefit.
Of children who participate in their programmes:
• 59.8% become more positive towards Jewish people.
• 92.3% make significant progress in their knowledge of prejudice.
• 81.9% make significant progress in their confidence to challenge prejudice.
• 87.6% of young people progress in their attitudes towards at least one social group who are different to themselves.
Last year, The Anne Frank Trust engaged 120,000 children through their programmes, and with our support, they hope to continue to grow and engage with even more people going forward.
