My Story

To run a marathon has always been on my "bucket list". Having supported a friend at the Dublin Marathon last October. I walked away feeling so inspired and exciting about taking on the challenge.

So, when I heard that my collegue Tim Kent had applied to run for Racing Welfare at London, it seemed like a perfect fit. 

I am so grateuful to everyone who has donated and I cannot wait to do my bit for this wonderful charity.

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’.
