My Story

On Sunday 21 April 2024, it will be 2 years to the day that my brother Mark was seriously burnt on duty attempting to rescue a member of the public.  It is also the day of the 2024 London Marathon.

Mark would not be here today had it not been for the amazing work of the team at Buckingham Healthcare National Health Service, in particular their intensive care team and regional centre for burns care, plastic surgery and dermatology, they saved his life.

The NHS team were there for our family and are for countless others (as are ALL the emergency services assisting us daily).

In appreciation of the efforts of the NHS staff but also for their ongoing work I am running the 26.2 miles of the London Marathon to help raise funds for Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund.

Every penny raised helps towards projects that enhance patient care and make a huge difference to patients, their families and the staff who care for them.

Any support towards my fundraising efforts, large or small, would be gratefully received!

Payment can be made via this fundraising page where I will keep you updated on my training progress and of my niece Jodie, who also plans to run London for the same cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story x
