Story

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to announce that I’m running the London Marathon 2025 for Sense charity!

Running the London Marathon has always been a dream of mine, and I never thought I’d get the chance due to its popularity. Watching on TV this year my son George inspired me by asking, “Daddy, can you run it?” Without hesitation, I said yes (he’s not watching TV anymore 😊).

Initially, I didn’t get a place as 840,000 applied for only 17,000 spots. However, I learned about running for charity and reached out to Sense. After weeks of discussions, they offered me a rare spot to run the marathon on behalf of their charity!

I haven’t run in over two years, so it’s a challenging journey ahead, but training has begun, and I’m making progress.

Please help by spreading the word, sharing my fundraiser link, or making a donation, no matter how small. Your support will enable Sense to continue their amazing work. Donations can be made via my JustGiving page, which also reclaims Gift Aid for UK taxpayers, making your contribution even more valuable.

Sense is a national Charity that supports people who are deafblind and those with complex disabilities, to be understood, connected and valued.

They are there for every person who faces communication barriers in a world that relies on being able to see and hear well to be connected. Together we can unlock barriers to communication so no one is isolated, left out or unable to fulfil their potential.

Thank you for helping me reach my London Marathon goal.
