I’m running the Hackney Half Marathon to raise money for YES Charity, which empowers young people across London through sport like football, boxing, basketball, rowing and more.

Your donation goes further than you think:

- I will match every pound you give (up to £125)

- My employer will then match the total again (up to £250)

So your £5 becomes £20 for the charity.

Sport has played a important role in my life. It’s how I release energy, stay mentally balanced, and connect with people. I’ve made friends on football pitches, through CrossFit, and in the kickboxing gym. Sport keeps me grounded, both physically and mentally.

That’s why this matters to me. Every young person should have access to sport not just for fitness, but to build confidence, find community, and develop a sense of purpose. Youth Experience Sport create safe spaces where young people can build confidence, learn discipline, and unlock opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Thanks a lot for supporting this.
