Story

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After an aborted attempt last year due to injury, I’m finally gearing up to complete the 2026 London Marathon. Yes — I’m actually doing it this time. No refunds, no take‑backs, no sudden “mysterious leg twinges”… hopefully.

I was lucky enough to get my marathon place through a company ballot that supports local Docklands charities. I’ve chosen to run in aid of Neighbours In Poplar, a fantastic organisation doing vital work across the community — basically the kind of people who help others without complaining about early starts or long runs.

If you’ve got a few spare pennies (or, if you’re feeling wild, actual pounds), I’d hugely appreciate your support. It’ll keep me motivated when I inevitably question all my life choices around mile 20.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and completely secure. Your details are safe — they won’t be sold, shared, or used to sign you up for anything involving marathons. Once you donate, the funds go directly to the charity, making it the most efficient way to support the cause.

Thanks again for your generosity, encouragement, and for giving me one more reason to drag myself out for training runs.
