I have volunteered with Oundle Mencap Holidays since 2005.

As we hit 2025, I wanted to mark 20 years of volunteering with this wonderful charity with a proper challenge. Against the odds, I got a place in the TCS London Marathon 2025 ballot so felt it was the perfect time.

Oundle Mencap Holidays provides residential holidays for children and young people with learning disabilities. The charity provides a Summer Holiday for children aged 8 - 18, and two camping holidays for older young people over the age of 18.

Whilst only small this charity has impacted on many hundreds, if not thousands, of people over the last 40 years in offering fun, adventurous and creative holidays for the children and young people, respite for families and life changing experiences for volunteers.

I would be really grateful if you could support the challenge to haul myself round the London Marathon 2025 (and the mad training schedule).

Thanks!
