Hello!

In April 2025, I will be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life: running the London Marathon. But I’m not just running for myself — I’m running to raise funds for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart, Spinal Research.

In 2007 my world changed forever when my brother Jassi was left paralysed from a spinal cord injury at just 21 years old. What started as an ordinary day turned into a life-altering moment for him and our entire family. Watching him navigate through life with immense courage, determination and resilience has been both inspiring and heartbreaking. The impact of a spinal cord injury goes far beyond the physical; it changes everything — daily routines, future dreams and even the simplest tasks we often take for granted.

Despite the challenges, Jassi has faced his injury with incredible strength. His spirit and willpower have shown me the importance of fighting for those who are dealing with similar circumstances. Every day he reminds me that hope is never lost and that’s why I am choosing to run this marathon in his honour.

Why Spinal Cord Research?

Spinal cord injuries can happen to anyone, at any time. Research into spinal cord injuries is critical not only for finding ways to improve mobility and independence for those affected but also for advancing breakthroughs that may one day lead to a cure. This is why I am supporting Sprinal Research a remarkable organisation dedicated to funding groundbreaking research and providing essential resources to individuals and families facing these challenges.

How You Can Help

I’ve set a fundraising goal of £3000 and every penny raised will go directly to Spinal Research to fund their incredible work. Whether it's £5, £10, £50, or more! Any donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who live with spinal cord injuries every day. Your support will help fund critical research, provide resources for individuals and families, and bring us closer to a future where paralysis does not define a person's life.

Join Me on This Journey

Running 26.2 miles will not be an easy feat, but every step I take will be fueled by the hope that we can make a huge difference together. If you’re unable to donate, I completely understand, but I’d be grateful if you could share this page with your friends and family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, encouragement and support. Together we can make a lasting impact and bring hope to those who need it most.

P.S. I’ll be sharing updates on my training progress and fundraising journey, so stay tuned! Thank you for being a part of this incredible adventure.
