Mum and I are running the London Landmarks half marathon in April this year! We started running together with help of Couch to 5K during lockdown and for the last few years, I’ve been trying to convince Mum into a half marathon. And I’ve finally done it….rather applied behind her back!

Many of you will know that I completed the London Marathon in 2025. I am really excited my next run event is going to be alongside my Mum! She may not know it yet, but she’s going to love it😆 I am really proud of the challenge she is taking on and the worthy cause we are hoping to raise money for.

In line with my job as a Children’s Social Worker, we have been allocated a charity place raising money for For Baby’s Sake. This may be a charity you have not heard of before, but I have experienced first hand the amazing impact their support has had on families and children. The charity empowers parents to break cycles of abuse, to transform life-chances of whole families, holding the baby and their safety at the centre. As Social Workers, we often rely on the continuation and presence of charity organisations to promote best outcomes for Children & Families.

We are truly grateful for any support you can provide as me and my Mum take on this journey together. We will be sure to share some updates as our training progresses. Thank you so much!

Hopefully we’ll see you at the finish line (with food and wine awaiting 🥂🍟)
