London Here We Come!

Jake and Jess are taking on the London Marathon together—siblings on a mission to support Lord’s Taverners and empower young people through sport.

For Jake, London will be marathon number six and his second World Marathon Major. He’s chasing a bold finish time of 3 hours and 5 minutes. Running for Lord’s Taverners brings together two big parts of his life: a background as a competitive sportsperson and work with the International Paralympic Committee, where he’s seen firsthand how inclusive sport can change lives.

For Jessica, this marathon is deeply personal. Born missing her left arm, sport became her sanctuary—a space where she could prove what her body could do, not be defined by what others assumed she couldn’t. That journey took her all the way to the Paralympics, and today she’s a global advocate for disability inclusion.

We’re proud to be raising funds for Lord’s Taverners, whose programs break down barriers and create opportunities for young people with disabilities and from disadvantaged communities through sport. That mission speaks to both of us.

Training on opposite sides of the world—Jake in the Aussie summer, Jess in the Dubai winter—has had its challenges, but we’re in this together, stride for stride.

Every donation helps create more moments like the ones that shaped our lives. Thanks so much for supporting us!
