I sadly lost my mum this year. She was a shining light and such an encouragement to me. I'd love to raise money for a cause close to her heart and one thats close to mine.

Mum was diagnosed with parkinsons a few years before she passed. The team were so good with her, offering advice, support and a community to belong to. I'd love to get Parkinsons UK some money for research and outreach to help more people diagnosed with this illness.

Starfish Alliance is a charity close to me both personally and professionally. The work they do organising summer camps for children in care has such an impact and helps creaate long lasting outcomes for children in care. Having visited camps and later becoming a trustee, I've seen the impact this small charity can have on our most vulnerable children and young people.

I would dearly love to raise £500 for eaxh charity by taking on my biggest personal challenge yet, running the London Marathon 2026. This will not be easy for me but I'd really appreciate anything you can give.
