Wooden Spoon has been a bit part of my life for many years for all the wonderful things they do.

My personal reason for wanting to do something as big as a Marathon is as many of you know I was hit very hard by Long Covid 3 years ago, meaning my legs stopped functioning properly and at my worst couldn’t get up or down stairs unaided! So what better thing to do than pray they get round a marathon and with the motivation of doing it for such a wonderful charity.

Wooden Spoon is the children’s charity of rugby, funding life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland to support children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage.
