The charity:

Demelza delivers incredible care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. They provide care for the children and their families through expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step – from first diagnosis and for as long as they are needed. The work that Demelza do is truly unmatched, and I’m so honoured to be raising money in support of such a worthy charity.  

The challenge:

As a Portfolio Manager working with financial advisers internationally, I’m fortunate to travel across many jurisdictions as part of my role, meeting various clients and attending global events.

In order to raise as much awareness and money for Demelza, I am going to be running a half marathon in every jurisdiction I visit (a leg trembling 52.4 miles!) on the run up to the 2024 London Marathon in April, as well as various running events in London to get as many colleagues and friends involved as possible.

If you would like to join me on any of the runs listed below, please get in touch – it would be great to run with you! I’ll be posting my Strava runs throughout my training period to keep you all updated along the journey. 

Current run agenda:

18th January: LGT Wealth Management 5K around the city

21st January: Dubai Burj to Burj half marathon

11th February: Barcelona half marathon

29th February: Dublin trail run

17th March: Amsterdam half marathon

4th April: Battersea team marathon relay

21st April: THE BIG DAY - 2024 London Marathon

 I would be so grateful for any donations, big or small, in aid of Demelza who are a wonderful charity that deserve all the support we can give.Thanks so much!
