My Story

I am so honored to be running the London Marathon this year on behalf of the Rett Foundation. Rett's Syndrome is a rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder that impacts the way the brain develops and primarily impacts girls. I will be running in honor of Skye Wellesley, who was diagnosed at the age of 1 and sadly passed when she was 15 and was my cousin's sister. Rett UK aims to support families and individuals impacted by Rett's syndrome through providing services, education, and advocating. 

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.

Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.

What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
