🏃‍♀️ Running the London Marathon for the London Ambulance Charity 🏥💚

On 26th April 2026 I will be joining #TeamLAS and flying the flag for the London Ambulance Service at the iconic TCS London Marathon 2025.

I’ve worked for the London Ambulance Service (LAS) 🚑 my entire adult life, and I’ve been fortunate to support the London Marathon many times in lots of different roles. Every year, I’ve watched runners push through incredible challenges — and I’ve always dreamed of being one of them.

Ten years ago, at age 41, I took the plunge and signed up to run it myself! But the training proved too tough, I was just too heavy and I had to pull out. I was gutted.

Fast-forward 10 years — after two years of weight and strength training, one year on weight loss medication, and five stone lighter — I’m back and stronger than ever, both physically and mentally. I may not be a natural runner, but I can now run 8k non-stop and have clocked a 5k in 28:44. ⏱️ I’m ready to train hard and get this bucket 🪣 list done.

I’m running 🏃to raise money for the London Ambulance Charity 💚, which does incredible work supporting the amazing people who care for Londoners every single day (and night… and Christmas… and everything in between!). The charity helps look after our staff in so many ways — you can read more about our mission here:

I’ve committed to raising £1,500, and I’d be so grateful for any support to help me reach that goal. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference.

💚 Please give a little — and cheer me on as I take on the London Marathon for the London Ambulance Service!

THANK YOU! 🙏

#TeamLAS will be fundraising for our London Ambulance Charity which focuses on improving the wellbeing of staff and volunteers, supporting great patient care. Donations to the Charity pay for things like our Wellbeing Support Vehicles, ensuring our paramedics and frontline crews receive the mental health support they need during difficult shifts.
