On April the 27th 2025, I will be running the London Marathon to raise funds for the Newman Holiday Trust who provide respite holidays for children with disabilities aged 4-18 each year, in various locations around the United Kingdom. You can learn more about their inspiring mission here:

I have had the privilege of volunteering with the Newman Holiday Trust on several occasions over the years. It is certainly a challenging experience, but witnessing firsthand the joy and confidence these holidays bring to the children has been profoundly inspiring and worthwhile. The laughter, the excitement, and the pure happiness that light up their faces are what motivate me to support this cause.
Why should you donate? Because your contribution can make a world of difference. It costs around £10-15k to run each holiday and around £110k to run all 7 holidays each year, equivalent to £800 per child (In 2023 we had 136 children). Every pound raised helps the Newman Holiday Trust provide these special holidays, ensuring that each child receives the care, support, and fun they deserve. Your generosity will help cover the costs of accommodation, activities, medical care, and transportation, making these holidays accessible to families who might not otherwise afford them.
Thank you for your support!
