Nathan is RUNNING THE 2026 LONDON MARATHON on behalf of Olivia!

...and we’d love your support!

Unfortunately, I've had to withdraw from the London Marathon after my training block before Christmas caused significant eczema flare-ups that affected my health and wellbeing. While I’m awaiting further tests and treatment, I’m focusing on recovery.

The good news is that Nathan will be running the marathon in my place and continuing to raise funds for Barnstondale. I’m so grateful for everyone’s incredible kindness, encouragement, and donations — thank you all so much for your support.

Nathan is a Taekwondo instructor and has always trained hard. He’s only run one marathon before — alongside me at my pace — and now he’s looking forward to running London at his own pace.

Barnstondale is a truly special place right here on the Wirral. It’s an outdoor education centre that gives children the chance to experience adventure, build confidence, and feel like they truly belong. For many young people, a stay at Barnstondale is life changing. It’s a place where every child matters.

Every donation — big or small — means the world.

Thank you so much for being part of my marathon journey and helping me support a place that’s changing young lives right here in our community.
