Matthew's running the Edinburgh marathon (again!) for the Lord's Taverners charity

On the 24th of May I will be running the Edinburgh marathon as part of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, raising money for the Lord's Taverner's charity. I will be joined by around 30 other runners from The Final Word cricket podcast. Three years ago I ran the 10km, two years ago I ran the half marathon, and last year I ran my first marathon, raising money for the Lord's Taverners each time. We are hoping to raise £30,000, and we still have a long way to go. We achieved the target last year, and would love to again. I would be very grateful for any donation you can make to this worthwhile cause. Thank you.

At The Lord’s Taverners, we use cricket to create life-changing opportunities for young people facing barriers due to disability or social disadvantage. Sport should be for everyone, yet many young people are excluded from its benefits. Your support helps us:
 ✅ Improve physical and mental well-being
 ✅ Boost confidence and independence
 ✅ Build stronger connections to communities and peers
How Your Support Transforms Lives
Every donation goes directly towards our inclusive cricket programmes, giving young people the chance to learn, grow, and thrive through sport.
