Story

This year I turn 50 and I decided what better thing to do than run the London Marathon and raise money for the most extraordinary charity I’ve the privilege to work for. Your support would mean the world to me as I embark on this massive challenge!

The Children’s Society are a national charity, working with young people to support them through their most serious life challenges. Our incredible teams work to support young people living in poverty, or struggling with their mental health or facing abuse or exploitation. We support over 50,000 children every year through over 70 different services and we campaign tirelessly for the big social changes that will improve the lives of those who need hope most. We've been doing this for 140 years and we won't stop until we've built a society where hope is alive in every child.

Together we can and we must build a society where every child can thrive not just survive!
