Last year, on the 15th November 2024, my best friend’s 8-year-old daughter, Hannah Faith, died suddenly of a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). In the weeks that followed, a small local charity, Derian House, stepped in and provided Ruth and Ben with what small comfort they could, and in the months since have been an enormous support.

On Saturday 20th September, I will be raising money for Derian House and partaking in the Great River Race: a 21.6 mile row along the Thames from Canary Wharf to Richmond.

Please consider donating to this wonderful cause.
