Story

This April, I’ll be lining up at the London Marathon again - my second marathon and the second time I’m proud to be running for Havens Hospices 🏃‍♂️

I’m incredibly grateful to have been invited back to raise money for such a special charity. Havens Hospices provides vital palliative care and support for children and families during some of the most difficult times imaginable. The work they do is truly extraordinary, and I’ve seen first-hand the difference they make to families when they need it most.

Second time around, I’m definitely a little more experienced but the challenge still feels just as daunting as the first. This year, the main goal is simple: enjoy the training and get to the start line healthy, ready to give it everything on the day.

Training is officially underway. I’ve just banked the first week of my marathon block, with around 12 weeks still to go. There will be plenty of early mornings, tired legs, and long runs ahead but knowing it’s all in support of Havens makes every mile worth it.

The countdown is on, and I’ll be sharing updates along the way.

It would mean the world to me, as well as the staff and families supported by Havens Hospices, if we could raise some serious money for this absolutely amazing charity - thank you all ever so much ❤️
