Story

Support My London Marathon Journey for a Great Cause!

UPDATE: any donations beyond my £1000 target will go towards the group target of £25,000. Very grateful for all the donations and messages ❤️

On Sunday, 27th April 2025, I’ll be taking on one of the world’s most iconic races—the London Marathon—as part of Team Luton Lions. This will be my very first World Major Marathon, and I couldn’t be more excited to combine this personal milestone with an incredible cause: supporting Children with Cancer UK.

My personal fundraising goal is £1,000, contributing to our team’s target of £25,000! Every pound raised will go directly to Children with Cancer UK, helping children and their families in their fight against cancer—a fight no child should ever have to face. Your donation today will help fund life-saving childhood cancer research and support for children and their families through treatment and beyond.

Training for a marathon is tough both mentally and physically, especially in these colder months. My completion of the Istanbul Marathon has inspired me to push harder and aim for a personal best: a sub-4-hour finish. In Istanbul I missed this target by just 3 minutes 21 seconds. With your encouragement and generosity, I know I can reach it.

Your support will not only motivate me to give my all on race day, but it will also bring hope and help to children fighting cancer.

Any donation amount will be much appreciated and can go a long way. Together, we can hit these goals and make an impact. Many many thanks for your support and hopefully I can see you on race day!
