On April 23, I will be running the London Marathon to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. As most of you know I have been a runner since High School, and it has remained a major part of my life ever since. As I have gotten older and my goals as an athlete have changed and I have looked for ways to support charities through running. Spending my entire professional career working with McDonald's the Ronald McDonald House Charities holds a special place in my heart, as I know it does for all of you as well. I've found a great level of personal satisfaction from finding ways to help raise money for RMHC over the years and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to use my passion for running to continue to help support RMHC.

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children having treatment in hospital. Our Houses offer much more than just a place to stay; they provide family activities, peer support, respite, and many other services. This means that families can be by their child’s bedside in a matter of moments, whilst maintaining a degree of normal life with reduced emotional and financial strain.We help over 6,000 families each year and now, more than ever, we need your support. Thank you.
