I have been given the incredible opportunity to run in the 2026 London Marathon as part of #TeamRNID!!

Being very much a novice runner, this will be a huge milestone for me as well as a chance to make a significant impact for the 1 in 3 people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Raising money for the Royal National Institute for Deaf People means a lot to me personally as I lost my hearing when relatively young and for some it is a life-long challenge. Deaf People face barriers in nearly every part of daily life and the RNID connects people to advice and support, campaigns for change in law, pioneers new treatments and funds research into technologies. Their work opens up a world of previously inaccessible sound - something that I have been fortunate enough to experience.

By donating, you will be supporting not just my marathon journey but also the RNID's mission to provide life-changing experiences to those who are deaf, have hearing loss or live with tinnitus. Even a small contribution can make a huge difference.

If you aren't currently able to donate, please share :) Thank you so much!
