Hey friends, on Sunday May 18th I'm running the Hackney Half in support of the British Red Cross (more about them in a moment). I went to the race last year to cheer on a friend and was blown away by the amazing spirit of event. This is my first big charity race and training is in full swing (my knees are already talking to me).

With all that said, I'd dearly love and appreciate any support you may be able to offer. Whether that's a cheeky fiver for this cause or some words of encouragement on the day as I bumble my way through the streets of Hackney. It is all hugely appreciated and I'd love to say thank you in person at post-race drinks...if I survive.

Thank you in advance and here's a little more about the British Red Cross:

Whether it’s in the UK or abroad in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine, it feels like the British Red Cross has never been needed more.

Through conflict, flooding or food shortages and fires, families and communities are facing unimaginable hardship.

No matter how difficult or dangerous things get, the British Red Cross is ready to face these challenges, bringing comfort and aid when all hope and humanity feels lost.

All the best,

Tom
