I am not a natural distance runner! This might be a bad idea…but I have always wanted to take on the challenge of the London Marathon.

My sister is a paediatric consultant at the hospital, supporting those in High Dependency and Intensive Care units. The work of her and her colleagues is inspiring and relentless on behalf of children most in need.

I am also running for the Evelina because there has never been a more important time to support the work of the wonderful staff and hospitals in our health care system. Particularly those that support very ill children.

As a father of 3, nothing feels more important than the health of our children. We are lucky to have the Evelina and I hope you can support me, supporting them. I need all the support I can get!! Thank you
