Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running in early 2020 to get a bit fitter and lose the 'dad tummy'. It was a New Year's Resolution I'd made and broken a few times before but I signed up to Couch to 5k and with an encouraging 'well done, pet' from coach Sarah Millican was on my way. In fact, I was soon hooked, and when covid hit a few months later, running gave me a goal and distraction in those weird and difficult days we all found ourselves.

I am proud to work as part of a team of incredibly committed colleagues who promote equality of opportunity for young people with physical and learning disabilities. I am constantly inspired by the ambition and determination of the children and young people we support, whilst aware that the ‘playing field’ can often be very uneven. 

So I feel privileged to bring these two passions together in running my second marathon for Get Kids Going!, adding to the total raised in this page from London 2022. This is a national charity which gives disabled children and young people the opportunity of participating in sport from starter to Paralympic level, by providing specially built sports' wheelchairs and grants to assist with training, physio, psychology and travel.

It is a wonderful cause and I would be really grateful if you could please donate to support such talented young people. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Wish me luck!
