Welcome to my crazy year of running for St Catherine's.

Tokyo Marathon.

I'm incredibly excited to share that I've snagged a coveted spot in the Tokyo Marathon, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with its notoriously tough ballot system (winning the odds is only about 3%!). This race will be my fifth in the world's major marathon series, leaving only Boston to conquer the full six-star challenge.

London Marathon

It’s a great privilege to run “The Peoples Marathon” for the 3rd time. Only a few weeks after Tokyo this is going to require some serious effort.

The North Downs Way 50 Miles

Eleven marathons down, lungs burning, legs like jelly... and yet, somehow, I haven't quite scratched the itch. They say a marathon's a 20-mile warm-up for a 6-mile hellfire, and let me tell you, they aren’t wrong! So, with my thirst for punishment unquenched, I'm throwing subtlety to the wind and diving headfirst into the abyss of ultramarathons.

Behold, the North Downs Way 50! Fifty glorious miles of sweat-soaked singletrack, lung-churning hills, and enough elevation gain to make Everest jealous (5,600 feet, to be precise). It's a point-to-point odyssey from the quaint Surrey village of Farnham to the windswept plains of Knockholt Pound, a journey guaranteed to leave me questioning my sanity, yet grinning like a madman all the way.

I finished this in 12 hours, I am so proud of myself for managing to keep moving for so long. Turns out I hurt my ankle for and spent the month of June resting.

Windsor Half Marathon.

Start line on the Long walk running up to the Copper Horse, then running around the great park on roads not normally open to the public.

Valencia Marathon

To complete the year of running I am off to sunny Valencia. This is a very fast course and I will be attempting to get my Boston qualifying time. 20 weeks of nonstop training will get me there.

So, join me on this absurdly ambitious adventure. Every penny you donate fuels my madness and, more importantly, supports St Catharine’s Hospice. Imagine, your generosity propelling me, one tortured stumble at a time, towards that finish line. Sounds glorious, doesn't it?

Click that donate button, my friends, and together, let's see just how far this madness can take us

I’m fundraising for St Catherine’s Hospice in Crawley; a local charity with a big ambition – to make sure nobody faces death and loss alone. The hospice relies on donations to offer pioneering end of life care and support to people in Sussex and East Surrey. Any donation you can give will mean a lot to me and make a direct difference to families facing terminal illness. St Catherine’s has never needed our support more. Together, let’s make sure the hospice can continue to provide its vital services.
