I’m running the Paris Marathon on 13th April 2025. It will be my fourth marathon and likely the most challenging, given my advancing years!

Twenty years on from my first marathon experience in London, I’m excited to take on the iconic Paris Marathon, in support of an incredible charity, Demelza.

Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. They provide more than 2,500 children and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step from first diagnosis and for as long as needed; to reassure, to guide and to care.

Demelza needs to raise tens of thousands every year to continue providing these vital services. Only 14% of their funding comes from the government so they really rely on donations from members of the public.

Please consider sponsoring me and helping to make a real difference to the lives of seriously ill children and their families.

Demelza believes in care that doesn't back down.
