''I do the easy stuff... The wife does the hard part.

I am running the 2026 London Marathon on 26th April and have gratefully been chosen by Kidney Care UK to be part of their team in such an iconic event. Further to this, I have decided to do this as part of a bigger challenge - 3 marathons in 3 weeks and plan to complete the Brighton marathon on 12th April, the Manchester marathon on 19th April and finishing with London on 26th April. This challenge will be following other events with a full list below.

As most will know already, Kidney Care UK is a charity very close to mine and our families’ hearts. The day after our first wedding anniversary is when I run London and my wife makes further sacrifices. My wife Gabrielle underwent her 2nd Kidney transplant in September 2024 having already had one in September 2008 aged 10. Her second transplant came from a very familiar person - her mum who has now given her life twice. Gabrielle has now made a full recovery and is back at work and grateful to be back to normal.

Gabrielle has an autoimmune disease called Lupus Nephritis, where the body’s immune system attacks the kidneys, leading to kidney failure. Kidney Care UK provide practical, emotional, and financial support to kidney patients and their families. They campaign at a national and government level to improve kidney health and care services. They also fund patient-centred projects to help improve kidney care services throughout the UK.
