Hi everyone! 🌍

In 2025/26, I’m on a mission that spans continents — running to raise critical funds for Save the Children, supporting kids growing up in war zones and crisis areas.

So far, with incredible support, I’ve raised £3,050 by completing:

🏁 London Marathon – 3:04:48

🏁 Comrades Ultra Marathon (South Africa) – 90KM in 8:41:01

But I’m not done yet.

Next up, with the aim of raising at least another £4,000:

🗽 New York Marathon – November 2025

🏯 Tokyo Marathon – March 2026

This campaign is about more than running. It’s about standing up for children who face fear, loss, and uncertainty every single day. As a father of two, I can only imagine what that must feel like — and I refuse to look away.

Before this, in 2024/25, I ran in honour of loved ones affected by cancer, raising €7,500 through:

🏁 Rotterdam Marathon – 3:15:15

🏁 Amsterdam Marathon – 3:00:33

Together, we supported life-saving cancer research and better care for those in need.

💥 Your donation can make a real difference:

£8 = a week of nutritious food for a malnourished child

£25 = a vegetable garden starter kit for a family

£50 = ‘school in a bag’ kits for 5 children

Every step I take is powered by your generosity — and every donation brings us closer to a world where every child can survive, learn, and thrive.

One step at a time. ❤️
