My story

On Sunday 26th April, I’ll be lining up for the London Marathon 2026. While 26.2 miles is a daunting distance, the "why" behind my run is much bigger than the race itself. I am jogging for two young boys who mean the world to me—two little warriors who redefine the word "brave" every single day.

A lesson in resilience and bravery
Just over nine years ago, my beautiful and precious nephew entered our lives and changed them forever. He has taught us the true meaning of joy and resilience. Navigating life with complex needs, he has faced more hurdles in his childhood than most do in a lifetime. Yet, he is so courageous and a true fighter in every sense of the word—resilient, strong, and consistently inspiring. I am raising money for the Acorns Children's Hospice, which have provided care that supports him. They are a lifeline, providing a sanctuary and specialised care that ensures he can thrive despite the challenges he faces.
 
A Lesson in Courage
Eighteen months ago, my best friend’s wonderful son was born with a rare and debilitating skin condition. He is currently still in the hospital in Manchester, and watching him fight through such an incredibly tough start to life is a reminder of what real strength looks like. He has been so resilient and strong throughout this journey. To support him and others living with the skin condition, I am raising funds for DEBRA UK, which provides life-changing specialist care, supplies, respite and mental health support while funding pioneering research to find a cure for this "butterfly skin" condition.
 
Why Your Support Matters I adore these two boys with all my heart, but my goal is also to support the impact these charities have on lives all over the UK. They provide the expertise, the relief, and the hope that families need when navigating the most difficult paths.
I’m taking on this challenge and these miles to ensure organisations such as these can continue to be there for every child who needs them. Whether it is the price of a coffee or a larger donation, every single penny goes directly to supporting the care and dignity of some of the bravest children in the country.

Thank you for your support and for helping me carry these two radiant spirits with me to the finish line on the Mall.

Please note: All funds raised will be split 50/50 between Acorns Children's Hospice and DEBRA UK to support the incredible work they do for children with complex needs and EB.

Hi everyone, 

I completed the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April 2026. Now that the dust has settled (and I can finally walk down the stairs without winching!) I would like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for your incredible support over the last few weeks.

Crossing the finish line of the London Marathon was one of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced, but knowing I had such a brilliant group of people cheering me on—both in person and from all of the UK and abroad—really kept me going through the wall at mile 20.
I am absolutely thrilled to share that, thanks to your kindness and generosity, we managed to beat the target and raise well over £3000.

The link will be live for another 3 weeks so there is still time to make a donation and raise even more money for these incredible charities. Your support matters to these children, and these funds will go directly toward helping children and families who need it most. 

To have surpassed my target and to hit this total is an incredible achievement, and I’m genuinely touched by everyone's kindness, generosity and contributions. 
Thank you! Thank you!

Our kind donations will be shared between Acorns Children’s Hospice and DEBRA UK.

Thank you again for all your support, positivity, kindness and donations, the lovely messages, and for putting up with me constantly talking about training and the marathon.

You are all amazing!
Have a great day!

Aman

This week, I have focused on the tempo and easy runs (5- 8kms). Still at the taper stage, so I'm keeping things smooth and not forcing the pace. 

Not long to go! Thank you for your kindness and generosity and supporting these two incredible charities. It's much appreciated!
