I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to run the London Marathon 2020 for Chain of Hope. I have been involved with Chain of Hope for a year as a volunteer lawyer. During this time, I have had the chance to see first-hand the amazing work this organisation does to facilitate life-saving heart surgery to children from underdeveloped countries from all over the work. This includes a project in Jordan treating child refugees from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and the Palestinian territories. The children assisted by Chain of Hope children are critically ill. They would never have a chance of survival in their home countries due to poverty, conflict or both. Many of them have been displaced. So please dig deep. You will literally be saving lives with any penny that you donate. More information about Chain of Hope's amazing work can be found here, www.chainofhope.org/.

This will be my  first London Marathon and my 11th marathon. I will be very proud to run the streets of London and be part of the largest single day fundraising event in the world, wearing a Chain of Hope singlet. 

Many thanks for your generosity.
