10 years later… and I’ve somehow signed up to run the Hackney Half again.

Last time was 2016 — no charity, just pain — and I swore I’d never do it again. Clearly, I lied.

This time I’m running for the amazing Terrence Higgins Trust, who are leading the fight against HIV and aiming for no new HIV cases by 2030. It’s an incredible goal, and their work really does change lives.

So while I’m out there questioning every decision that led me to this moment, your donations will remind me it’s all worth it.

Please give whatever you can — every bit helps Terrence Higgins Trust keep doing their brilliant work. I’ll do my best to finish smiling… or at least standing.

Please donate whatever you can — every bit helps Terrence Higgins Trust keep up their incredible work. I’ll do my best to run, sweat, and stagger my way to the finish line… again!
