Hi there, thank you for supporting me and my cause and for visiting my fundraising page.

I’m running the London Marathon on April 27th 2025. Running a marathon has always been on my bucket list, so I thought it was fitting that I run my first marathon, 42kms at the age of 42 while supporting an amazing charity (NSPCC).

The training has been tough, I’m not going to lie! I’m not sure I fully realised what I had signed up for when I did but if you’ve been following my journey you will know how committed I am to it. If you’ve haven’t, and you would like to, you can follow along on Strava (https://strava.app.link/4gdFB8AqGQb) or Instagram (@roxdsouza)

There have been moments where I have been tempted to give up but I’ve got a place through the amazing charity NSPCC (who I’ve also had the fortune to do pro bono work with) so how could I let them down! I’d love to raise some money for them to support all the amazing work they do (especially online child safety).

Your support means the world to me - both the sponsorship but also the encouraging words. It would be lovely to see those who are based in / around London on the day too (so please donate and also save the date 27/4!)

Read a little about the NSPCC below…

The NSPCC is the leading children's charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. We help children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening.

Every child deserves the best possible chance to rebuild their life after abuse

That’s why we’re here. That's what drives all our work. And that’s why – as long as there’s abuse – we will fight for every childhood.
