It will be 10 years this October since we said goodbye to Oliver. We set up the Oliver’s Wish Foundation in an attempt to build something positive out of a situation that left us utterly heartbroken. Through the kindness and dedication of 'Oliver's Army', we have raised £550,000 to date for charities that support babies, children and young people.

In our 10th year we are looking to raise the bar and have our sights set on reaching £1 million. We have been signing up dozens of new recruits to Oliver’s Army in 2025 and anticipate a record number of sponsored events to be held this year.

To that end I have been looking for a challenge that will massively test me personally in my 50th year and I hope in turn inspire others to get involved.

I have agreed to join my friend Simon Pilkington, a huge supporter of Oliver’s Wish, in an epic challenge in 5 weeks time as we take on 6 ultra marathons in 6 days. We will start together at the London Marathon on April 27th and keep running over the following 5 days to Bristol - a total of 180 miles in 6 days.

Please donate if you can to Oliver's Wish so we can continue to help the charities we are dedicated to supporting - SUDC UK, Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
