Story

In 2026 I'll be taking on the incredible challenge of running the London Marathon to raise money for the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity—a cause that’s personal to me. I’m severely dyslexic myself and stuggled through my school years undiagnosed, so I know first-hand the obstacles that come with it. But I also know that with the right support, encouragement, and tools, those obstacles don’t have to hold anyone back.

Please donate if you can! Anything you can give would be hugely appreciated. Thank you! x

At least 1 in 10 people has dyslexia and many struggle with literacy, feeling isolated and experiencing financial difficulties.

Left undiagnosed and unsupported, dyslexia can reduce the ability to learn, affecting self-esteem and overall life chances.

Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity work to remove barriers to learning and life for children and adults with dyslexia by providing expert, personal and life-changing support.

They also support parents of children with dyslexia, their teachers, and employers of dyslexic staff.

Their team of specialists provide help through dyslexia assessments, consultations, 1:1 tuition and training as well as a variety of courses, workshops, information and advice.

They are helping more people than ever with dyslexia turn challenges into opportunities, unlock potential and succeed on their own terms.
