Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having previously taken part in the SBC Charity Boxing Championship for Oliver’s Wish in 2023, I’m going one step further and pushing myself to the limit by running 6 ultra marathons in 6 days.

The Oliver's Wish Foundation was founded in memory of Oliver Dowling, who tragically passed away in his sleep in the autumn of 2015. The Oliver's Wish foundation is aiming to raise as much money in Oliver's memory for a range of charities that are focused on the support of children and young people.

I will be running the London Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2025 and then, directly after, I will run home from London to Bristol over a total of 6 days, largely following the canal path system linking Paddington to Bristol, finishing at the 'Dirty Duck' (Black Swan) in Westbury-on-Trym.

For context, the last marathon I ran was in 2014, and having not ran much distance over the last few years, it's fair to say that my body is now feeling all of my 42 years!

The early training mornings through the dark and freezing winter have been, frankly, brutal, but I’m excited and so determined to raise as much money as I can as part of Oliver’s Army whilst hopefully bringing the iGaming community together in the process.
