Story

I’m taking on the London Marathon on the 26th April 2026 to raise money and awareness for Man Matters, a men’s mental health charity that’s incredibly close to my heart.

I’ve lost several friends who took their own lives, and I’ve seen first-hand the devastating pain that poor mental health can cause to families and loved ones left behind.

If this run can help raise awareness, encourage men to talk, and remind even one person that they’re not alone, then it will be worth every step. Running 26.2 miles will be a huge challenge for me as a 16.5 stone bloke, so every penny donated will give me that extra push to keep going.

Thank you for your support—it means everything. 💙
