On 19th April I’ll be taking on the Manchester Marathon, one of the UK’s biggest and most exciting running events. This will be a huge personal challenge for me, but the motivation behind it is far bigger than the finish line.

I’m raising funds for three incredible charities that are doing vital work supporting people and families who need it most:

Reuben’s Retreat – supporting families who have lost a child or have children living with life-limiting conditions.

The Thomas Theyer Foundation – helping to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Mentell – creating safe spaces for men to talk, listen and improve their mental health.

Every mile I run is to help raise awareness and support for the amazing work these charities do.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean a lot and will go directly towards helping these organisations continue their life-changing work.

Thank you so much for your support — it will definitely help get me through the 26.2 miles!
