So I ran the London Marathon in 2011 and again in 2013 - those runs were tough and I swore I’d never do it again but I’m back 9 years older and a fair bit heavier too. Part of this is about me about proving to myself that I can still do it and get through what will be a gruelling training schedule but just as much is about raising funds for my chosen charity Shelter.

Due to a calf injury my London Marathon place entry has been deferred and I will now be running it on 23rd April 2023.

Shelter helps those who are homeless and at risk of homelessness- providing advice and practical assistance whilst campaigning for laws and policies to improve the lives of homeless and badly housed people.
