I'm incredibly proud to share that I’ve secured a place in the 2026 London Marathon, running in support of the Fire Fighters Charity. But this won’t be an ordinary marathon, I’ll be taking on all 26.2 miles in full firefighting kit.

This challenge is deeply personal. Following the tragic loss of Jennie and Martyn in Bicester, along with the serious injuries sustained by others and the daily risks faced by every firefighter, I felt compelled to do something. This run is my way of honouring those we’ve lost, those still fighting, and those who selflessly serve our communities every day.

Over the next 10 months, I’ll be training, fundraising, and preparing both physically and mentally to take on one of the most iconic races in the world, wearing the very gear that represents the courage and sacrifice of so many.

This journey is about more than completing a marathon. It’s about raising awareness, showing solidarity, and giving back to a charity that supports the brave men and women behind the uniform. I’ll be documenting every step, every event, and every blister along the way.

I’d be honoured if you followed along, shared the story, or even supported the cause, because no firefighter should ever face their challenges alone.

If you’re able to support me on this journey, every donation, big or small, will make a real difference. Your sponsorship will help the Fire Fighters Charity continue providing vital physical, mental, and emotional support to firefighters and their families.

I’d be incredibly grateful for anything you can give. Thank you for standing with me and those who stand ready to protect us all.
