In 2027 I’ll be taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon, and in the build-up to race day I’ll also be running the Great South Run and the Southampton Half Marathon.

I’m fundraising for Baby Necessities Southampton, a local charity dedicated to supporting families with young children who are facing financial hardship. Their mission is to ensure that every baby and young child has access to the essential items they need, providing practical support such as clothing, nappies, safe sleeping spaces, feeding equipment and other everyday necessities to families across Southampton and the surrounding areas.

As a parent, I know how important these essentials are, and how hard those early months and years can be! I’m proud to be raising money for a charity that makes such a meaningful difference to local families. Every donation received will help Baby Necessities Southampton continue their incredible work supporting babies and children in our community.

Thank you so much for your support — it truly means the world and will help motivate me through every training run and across the finish line in London!
