Story

In 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon in memory of my brother, Simon, who tragically passed away from meningitis at just 8 months old. Though I never had the chance to grow up with him, Simon’s loss has deeply shaped my life and my family’s journey.

Meningitis can strike without warning, and in the most devastating way. It took my brother’s life far too soon—and it continues to impact thousands of families every year. That’s why I’m taking on this marathon: to raise vital funds for meningitis research, awareness, and support services that could save lives and spare others from the heartbreak we've experienced.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to a future where no one has to lose a loved one to this cruel disease. Please help me honour Simon’s memory and support this crucial cause.

Thank you for your support. Let’s make every mile count.
