My story

It's a classic tale of being inspired on London Marathon Day, entering the ballot, forgetting about it and then next thing you know the email comes in and I've got a ballot spot. Shock all round. From me and those around me. But it's the London Marathon... can you really say no?! I even checked with my rheumatology consultant and after a go ahead from them I really couldn't say no! And that's how we ended up here.

It's been a long time since I ran or trained for a run so the journey is going to be tough but I am ready (I think) for the challenge ahead.

I'll be fundraising for two wonderful charities: Lord's Taverners and Versus Arthritis as motivation and I would bloody love your support. We all know I'll need it! I'm in the market for accountability texts, banners and loud cheers on the day and some pep talks along the way.

Why these two charities? 

Well, I live with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and have for over 24 years. I'm part of the 10 million people living with arthritis in the UK. I'm delighted to now be part of the Versus Arthritis Marathon team fundraising to support the great work of the charity to ensure everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose with real hope of a cure in the future.

Lord's Taverners? Sport has the power to change lives and I'm privileged to see that regularly in my day job. At Tavs, we empower young people through cricket by providing innovative, inclusive and impactful programmes to young people facing the challenges of inequality. I believe so strongly in what we do I wanted to put my personal fundraising and I guess my body where my mouth is.

Thank you so much for your support and for making it to the bottom of my story. Only thing left to do is donate if you can...
