Story

As part of my pursuit to complete the World Marathon Majors Six Star achievement, I am so proud to fundraise for Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity and compete in the 2025 TSC London Marathon!

Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity exists to fulfill 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 supports 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.

Thank you so much for supporting Rays of Sunshine and my fundraising goal!
