My Story

In 2024 I will be running the London Marthon in memory of my brother Joseph for SMA UK. Joseph had SMA and sadly passed away at 9 months old due to it. 

SMA UK is such an amazing charity, having done so much for my family and so many other family's. A fanatic charity that is really close to my heart.

This is also my biggest challange yet, having done a 1,000 mile cycle in 2020, as well as the Oxford Half Marathon in 2019 all for SMA UK, I very sure this will be the hardest .

Any donations would be incredibly appariciated!

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’.
