Hi, I’m Josie Rice – and I’m on a mission to raise £1,000 for two incredible charities: Variety, the Children’s Charity, and DSUK (Down’s Syndrome UK).

I work closely with children with a wide range of physical and learning disabilities, and I’m lucky enough to have built strong relationships with many amazing individuals – including children and adults with Down Syndrome. Their resilience, spirit, and joy are a daily source of inspiration.

In April 2025, I had the honour of running the London Marathon alongside Lloyd Martin, a phenomenal fundraiser and athlete who never stops inspiring me. Whether he's in the gym for his private gymnastics lesson, running beside me, or helping to coach younger children with Down Syndrome, Lloyd lights up every room he enters. Supporting causes close to his heart is a privilege.

To continue that momentum, I’ll be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October 2025, and the London Landmarks Half Marathon in April 2026 – and I’d love your support on this journey.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help provide opportunities, experiences, and support for children who truly deserve it. Thank you for being part of this!
