This year , I’m training and taking on the biggest challenge of my life: running the London Marathon 2026. To say this is outside my comfort zone would be a massive understatement, I am not a runner at all so it’s going to be interesting and entertaining at times!

I’m running to raise money for Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary, a local rescue in Bristol that gives abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs a second chance at life. The team works tirelessly to provide shelter, food, veterinary care, training, and rehabilitation — as well as the love and support these animals desperately need when they have nowhere else to turn.

Their work is funded entirely by donations, which is why I want to help.

I was lucky enough to get a place in the London Marathon through the ballot and I knew straight away I wanted to make every step count by supporting a charity with great cause.

If you can, please consider sponsoring me. Every donation will help feed, shelter, and care for the cats and dogs at Holly Hedge until they find their forever homes. 🐾
