I am running the London Marathon in memory of my son Kaylen.

Kaylen passed away from cancer in May 2024 aged just 10 years old. During his illness, Wishes 4 Kids were incredibly kind to Kaylen - they gifted him a wonderful gaming laptop to enable him to play his favourite driving game during all of his time off school because of his treatment; and it is also thanks to this wonderful charity that Kaylen was able to drive a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a McLaren around a track at speeds up to 102mph!

As a family we would dearly love to raise a significant sum of money for Wishes 4 Kids, to thank them for everything they did for Kaylen at a very difficult time for him and to help them provide more wishes for other sick children, which we know will help to brighten up their challenging lives.

This will be my first marathon for 10 years, with the added age and weight to show for it! Kaylen loved going to London and the marathon course passes some of his favourite places, including Tower Bridge, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace (which he called the Queen's house).

I thank you for your support as I run in Kaylen's memory to raise money for this wonderful charity.
