I am really excited to announce that I am about to take on the huge challenge of running the London Marathon and I will be doing this to raise money for Rainbows, which makes this even more amazing! This is my first Marathon and I'm incredibly nervous and equally proud to be taking part.

I am honoured to be doing this on behalf of Rainbows, a charity that holds a special place in my heart. Rainbows is a beacon of hope for children and young people facing life-limiting conditions in the East Midlands region. They provide vital support and care, creating a sanctuary where children can laugh, play, and make cherished memories.

Your support is so important to me as I train and will be the motivation I need to pull my chubby-belly off the sofa! Every step I take is fuelled by the knowledge that together, we can make a difference to the lives of these children and their families. Your contribution will help provide essential care, support bereaved families and improve the quality of life of anyone affected.

Join me on this journey. Your generosity will not only inspire me to push my limits, but will also impact the lives of those who need it most. Together, let's light up the lives of these incredible children and give lasting help to this amazing charity that extends far beyond the finish line.

Thank you for your support and for being a part of this with me.
