Join me on an incredible journey as I prepare for the Burnham-on-Sea Half Marathon on September 14, 2025, to support Mermaids, a UK charity dedicated to uplifting transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse children and their families.

In a world where acceptance is starting to feel further out of reach, Mermaids envisions a safe and inclusive society where every trans child is empowered to embrace their true selves. Your generous donations through Just Giving will directly impact the lives of these young individuals, providing them with the resources they need to explore their gender identity freely and thrive.

With the current political climate posing challenges for young trans and gender diverse people, it is more urgent than ever to rally together and make a difference. I am aiming to raise £500 for this vital cause. Every contribution counts! Let’s come together to ensure that no child feels alone in their journey. Please consider donating today and help me support Mermaids in creating a brighter future for our youth.
