Story

I have the pleasure of running the 2024 London Marathon for The Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity. It is a charity very close to mine and my families heart; following the recent loss of a family member our first encounter with this amazing charity fulfilled the wish of a young child through donations in honour of the person we lost.

Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity exists to fulfil the wishes of children, between the ages of 3-18 in the UK, of any race or gender who are terminally or seriously ill. It also buys equipment for these children and support the hospices, hospitals and specialist schools that care for them. The charity brightens the lives of these children and their families by granting wishes and providing ongoing support. Rays of Sunshine believes that every child deserves to experience happiness and put their illness on hold, even if it is just for one day. Their work provides a positive distraction, reduces isolation, improves self-esteem and creates precious memories and smiles.
