Running (or slow shuffling) for a Reason: Every Mile Makes an Impact

I'm cleaning my glow-in-the-dark runners to raise funds via Meeting Needs - the charity of the event industry, of which so many of us are involved directly or indirectly through MMCs, DMCs, venues, airlines getting people there and back

Last year alone, our industry raised over £135,000, and I’m determined to help push that total even further in 2026.

this is my 4th Royal Parks, and my 5th Half Marathon and I expect it to be painful and slow, but hey! go for it.

Meeting Needs provides vital, life-changing grants to small charities that are often overlooked. For example, trauma-informed play for children in Ukraine, school equipment in Malawi, or food provisions for families here in the UK gives me the motivation I need to keep moving.
