I am delighted to be able to fulfil my dream of running the London Marathon in 2027 and proud to represent an amazing cause in the YMCA Taunton. Supporting children, young people and families in our community, this is a great opportunity to make a real difference locally so thank you so much for your donations!

From YMCA Taunton:

'We're delighted that Paul will be representing YMCA Taunton at the London Marathon 2027.

Taking on 26.2 miles is an incredible achievement in itself, but Paul has set himself an even bigger challenge by aiming to raise an amazing £10,000 to help support children, young people, families and our wider community.

Over the coming months, we'll be working closely with Paul and have lots of exciting fundraising activities and events planned to help him on his journey to the start line. We'll be sharing updates, celebrating milestones and inviting our supporters to get involved along the way.

Every pound raised will help YMCA Taunton continue creating opportunities for people to connect, grow in confidence, improve their wellbeing and access support when they need it most.

We're incredibly grateful to have Paul representing YMCA Taunton in one of the world's most iconic races, and we can't wait to follow his marathon journey.

Thank you for supporting Paul and YMCA Taunton. Together, we can make a real difference in our community."
