My Story

Hi all

Thank you for taking the time to read my page. I am running the London Marathon 2024 and raising money for Independent Age UK, a charity founded over 150 years ago offering advice and support for people in old age. It operates throughout the UK and provides advice and support across a range of areas including money, housing, health, personal life, support and care, and future planning. 

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’.
