My Story

Running the London Marathon is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and, following a trip to London to cheer on Racing Welfare’s runners in 2023, I put my name straight down for the 2024 race.

Not only will this be a major tick off my bucket list, but it will also mean a great deal to me personally to complete this challenge in aid of Racing Welfare. 

Racing Welfare is racing’s primary human welfare charity and has supported me and many others close to me throughout my career in racing, not least by providing me with an affordable place to live in Lambourn for several years when my employer did not have any on-site accommodation to offer. 

I’ve held a senior position in racing for over a decade now and am confident that, during those years, not a week has gone by when a colleague or friend from within the racing community would not have needed the support of Racing Welfare in some form, whether that be following an accident or injury, needing financial assistance or help with their mental health.  We often take for granted the support that is there for all of us, because it’s not always something that is easy to talk openly about, but I hope that by taking part in this high profile event I can do my bit to raise awareness and much needed funds for a charity that means so much to so many people.

I only took up running at the end of 2023 with the London Marathon specifically in mind - so this is going to be a huge challenge for me! Please support me if you can, and I’ll keep you updated with my training progress via this page.

Thank you for your support for both me and Racing Welfare! Find out more about the charity by watching the video below.
