This year, I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for two charities that mean an incredible amount to me; Shout and The Mix.

1 in 5 adults in England currently live with a common mental health problem.

We rarely shout when things are going wrong. Often we're quiet and our struggles our invisible. Sometimes people who seem the strongest are fighting their hardest battles in their own head.

I've seen how important it is to have someone to turn to when things feel difficult. Not everyone is as fortunate to have that, but my charities ensure they do.

Shout is a free, 24/7 text messaging support service in the UK that provides immediate mental health crisis intervention, connecting individuals to trained volunteers who help them reach a calmer state and develop a safety plan.

The Mix gives young people a place to talk, ask for help, or simply breathe when everything feels too heavy through free confidential online support.

I'm running this year for every person who has felt alone and didn''t know where to turn. For anyone who has ever wished they had a voice on the other end of the line.

If you can donate, you're not just supporting me; you're helping someone feel seen, heard and valued. You're helping save a life.

Thank you.
