Story

In April 2024, I'll be tackling the iconic London Marathon for Oxfam—a dream I've always hesitated to face, but this year, it's happening!

I am thrilled to be taking on this challenge for such an incredible charity. The money raised and donated to Oxfam will help vulnerable communities worldwide, not only to tackle poverty, injustice and provide aid, but also supporting the lives of those in Israel and Gaza. Running 26.2 miles was the LEAST I could do during such a challenge time. Whether big or small, any donation is hugely appreciated and goes a long way in supporting Oxfam's life-changing work. Your donation could be my energy gel to my marathon! Thank you all in advance and I hope to see you at the finish line (fingers crossed)!
