I am honoured to be running the London Marathon in support of a charity that provides incredible assistance to those in need in a place I’m proud to call home.

The Wish Tree Charity has been a pillar of support for my family ever since my dad began his battle with cancer four years ago. Their team has gone above and beyond for us during our toughest times, just as they have for so many others in our village.

I first turned to running during lockdown, around the same time my dad was diagnosed. Utilising running as a way to return the immense support I’ve received is a pleasure.
