Story

Hi Everyone,

I’m excited (and nervous!) to share that I’ll be running the London Marathon 2025 in support of the Starlight Children's Foundation UK.

As a nanny, working with children every day, this cause is especially important to me. I see firsthand the joy and resilience that children bring, and I want to help ensure that even those facing serious illnesses can experience moments of happiness.

Starlight are passionate about protecting every child's right to play, which takes them to the bedsides of some of the most poorly children in the UK, enabling children to escape their anxiety, fear and loneliness by providing the tools to play and make memories. I am so pleased to support such a meaningful cause!

Running 26.2 miles is no small feat, especially this being my first marathon, but knowing that each step I take is making a difference in the lives of these children will be my motivation. I aim to raise £2500 for Starlight, and I need your help to get there!

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will directly help children and their families to cope with serious illness by giving them tools to manage these times when they need it most. ❤️☀️
