Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year, I ran London Marathon for Shelter and we raised £2450. It was a truly fantastic family experience culminating in the best day in London.

Again, this year our children Bea (9), Freddie (7), Oscar (9) & Henry (7) are going to be helping to lead the charge with fundraising and have a tonne of new ideas for 2027. During 2025 the kids became very interested in charity and raising money for good causes. It stemmed from multiple trips to the Leicester City Centre and their questions around the homeless and how we could help.

This year, we would like to continue this journey as a family and I am really looking forward to running the London marathon again, for Shelter. The kids often cycle with me and we try to make all things as engaging, outdoor and fun as possible. Hence why we would like to raise money as a family.

FAMILY FUNDRAISERS - these are all the kids ideas;

Sponsored 21km bike rides (whilst giving out packed lunches to the homeless)

Car boot sales, selling their unwanted toys and games

Family parkrun's

More wild blackberry & plum jam

Lemonade and homegrown vegetable sales outside the front of our home after school

MY PRIMARY FUND-RAISER

I work for a mini-golf brand, Puttshack. We have 4 sites across Greater London, One in Lakeside, Essex, one central in Bank, one in Shepherds Bush and finally one in Watford. I plan to run all of these in one day - which would actually be the distance of almost two marathons!
