Story

I'm very excited to be running the London Marathon 2025 to support refugees, by raising funds for the work of JRS UK!

Having had the most amazing experience travelling the world and working with refugees in Calais, I feel passionate about helping those who have been displaced.

People who have been forced to flee their homes and seek sanctuary in the UK are often faced with destitution and hostility. This has been very evident at the end of 2024 with refugees being targeted during the riots on the streets of the UK.

I do hope that you will be able to sponsor me and help those less fortunate. It will be a big challenge and a great test for the new ACL!!

Thank you in advance for your support and I will keep my page updated with training progress.
