Story

Hello everyone, since retiring from professional football in the summer I now have the opportunity to tick off 'bucket list' challenges, and I'm starting with the London marathon in April, whilst also being able to raise significant money for a charity I have had a close affiliation with since the age of 18 due to their brilliant relationship with Charlton Athletic, Demelza. I'm excited but also well aware how big a challenge this will be, I have been to the last few London marathons as a spectator and it really is an incredible day that raises record amounts of money every year to keep all these brilliant charities going.

I would be extremely appreciative of any donation, no matter how big or small , that you would be willing to make. Thank you!!
