This year I am pleased to say that I will be running the London Marathon 2025, in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH).

GOSH is a fantastic charity which does some incredible work for seriously ill children and gives vital support to their families.

Hundreds of children sadly visit GOSH every year, and I've had the honour of visiting Great Ormond Street Hospital through work (it is GB Railfreight's official charity). During that visit, I will never forget seeing the chapel where parents wrote down their goodbyes on pieces of card on a tree to their loved ones. It's incomprehensible what the children here and their families are going through.

Please give what you can give. I know times are hard right now with money, so I am not expecting huge donations.

When you start writing about Great Ormond Street Hospital, everything else seems trivial. But just so we can have a bit of fun. I have devised a couple of fundraising games (YES I KNOW, I HATE FORCED FUN, but here we go....).

Guess the time;

- Whoever can guess to the nearest second my finishing time will win a prize... What is that prize you ask, WELL YOU'LL HAVE TO ENTER TO FIND OUT! Comment below your donation your guess.

£2 FOR A GUESS! £2 FOR A GUESS!

The Sam Batey Jukebox;

I will also need a running playlist for race day. Comment below what song you'd like, and I'll add it to the raceday playlist.

£2 FOR A SONG! £2 FOR A SONG.

Finally, let me know if you want to pop up to watch me on the day, I'll add you to the whatsapp group!

Thank you!
