On 26 April, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon – and this time it really does feel special. I was lucky enough to secure a ballot place, and after two previous attempts that didn’t quite go to plan, this is very much third time lucky. I’m determined to get it right this time.

I’m running for Tourettes Action, a cause that means more to me than I can put into words. My amazing son has Tourette syndrome, and alongside being a parent, I also work for this incredible charity. Every day I see first-hand how vital our support is and the real, life-changing impact the charity has on the TS community. This really is more than just a job – it’s personal.

If you’re able to spare any amount, your support will help Tourettes Action continue its vital work and will also give me that extra push through the long, tough miles of training to get me to the start line. Your generosity truly means the world to me.

Thank you so much for your support.
