Tom's 2027 London Marathon for Lord's Taverners and Take Her Lead

After telling myself at least 100 times I would never run another marathon again during the last painful 20km of the 2025 London Marathon, I'm back for another go in 2027!

Despite the long and challenging training programme before even getting to the marathon, its such an amazing experience on the day, and to be able to raise much needed funds for charities close to my heart make it all the more worthwhile.

In 2027 thanks to the kind team at Lord's Taverners I am raising funds for both the Tavs and Take Her Lead.

I have been supporting the Tavs for some time now, inspired by how their programmes use cricket to create life-changing opportunities for young people facing barriers due to disability or social disadvantage. The dedication of their team to continue to evolve their programmes and outcomes has been amazing to see over the years.

As the Dad to two daughters, I have been coaching and managing girls cricket teams at my local club in East Molesey for the last 8 years. Through the Tavs I was lucky enough to meet Isa Guha who founded Take Her Lead a few years ago. Whilst there have been great strides forward over the past decade in the women and girls game in the UK, there is still lots more to do, and THL are at the forefront of promoting equality & diversity in the game to ensure every woman and girl can fulfil her potential and thrive in cricket.

I am really proud to be given the opportunity to run for two amazing charities and hope that you can help me reach and hopefully exceed my fundraising goal.
