I’m so excited to be running my first-ever London Marathon on 27th April 2025 to raise money for The Children’s Trust.

I was inspired watching friends take part last year and I can’t wait to take on the challenge and experience the incredible energy of this event. After completing a triathlon and a very hilly half marathon this year, the marathon feels like an exciting next step.

Every year 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness, with many not able to access the support they need.

The Children's Trust aim is to reach and support more children with brain injury to give them the best life possible. Donations will help The Children's Trust with their goal, allowing the Trust to provide specialist rehabilitation, education and community services across the UK.

Growing up locally to The Children’s Trust I have been lucky enough to support their work over the years. The funds I raise will go directly to supporting their life-changing services, helping children and their families find the best possible quality of life. You can find out more about the incredible work they do here. https://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/brain-injury-information/real-stories

Any donation, big or small, will make a difference, to help provide children with the care, rehabilitation, and support they need.
