After many years of tentatively entering the ballot for the London Marathon, this year I actually won a place (whether that's lucky or not remains to be seen).

To help get me through mile after mile of training around north-east London in our lovely British winter, I'm fundraising for Roundabout, a fantastic small local charity in South Yorkshire who tackle youth homelessness, something we can all agree should absolutely be prevented whenever possible.

Roundabout provide shelter, support, and guidance to empower young individuals to rebuild their lives and secure a brighter future. Through their various programs, Roundabout helps young people develop essential life skills, access education and employment opportunities, and ultimately break the cycle of homelessness.

It will also be extra special running for Roundabout as I have a local connection with my Dad growing up near Rotherham.

Donations: Any amount you can give will be massively appreciated and will go directly towards supporting Roundabout's programs and services.
