Running the London Marathon is a bucket list thing for me, and I'm over the moon to be running it while my knees still (just about!) can - but most importantly, I'm incredibly honoured to be running it for the Family Holiday Charity.

When I was young, I was lucky enough to have holidays with my family and they are precious memories that will stay with me forever - but there are 2.5 million families in the UK that are unable to afford a holiday and get that essential time together. There's children in this country that have never seen the beach, and parents that desperately need a break away from home, but can't. A holiday is the ultimate luxury when it's a struggle to put food on the table...

The spiraling cost of living in this country is making things even harder, so the funded holidays provided by the Family Holiday Charity matter now more than ever.

Everyone deserves a holiday and I'm hoping my fundraising can help to support that. You donate some money, I'll do the running/hobbling through 26.2 miles of London.
