SportsAid is a charity very near and dear to my heart - and in many ways, a lot closer to my feet!

They've supported me and my family through their financial grants, their alignment with influential organisations such as Prudential and Royal Bank of Canada, as well as - most importantly - their genuine, wholehearted belief in me as a person first, then as an athlete.

This year, on my 29th birthday, I'm giving back to them by running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on their behalf. The work that they do not only helps the next generation of athletes succeed, it creates determined, resilient and ambitious members of society, whilst making some incredible memories along the way.

While the fundraising target is set at £350, I know I have received much, much more from SportsAid over the years - so let's raise as much as we can!
