My first blog post!

Today I set up my fundraising page, meaning I am officially running the 2027 London Marathon! I’m excited to get down to training and have so many fundraising ideas to implement over the next 9 months! I will be sharing updates with you all on here as well as on my socials.  Thank you so much to my first donation! A long way to go but little by little I will get there ❤️ 

I'm running to help save lives in London

Why I’m Running the London Marathon 2027

If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d be running the London Marathon, I never would have believed you.

Running has challenged me in ways I never expected. It’s taught me resilience, discipline and that I’m capable of so much more than I thought. Crossing the finish line at the London Marathon in 2027 will be one of the biggest achievements of my life, but this time it isn’t just about me.

I’m incredibly proud to be running in support of London’s Air Ambulance.

Every single day, their team is called to people experiencing the worst moments of their lives. Whether it’s a serious road traffic collision, a traumatic injury or a life-threatening medical emergency, they bring expert doctors, paramedics and life-saving treatment directly to the scene when every second matters.

None of us ever expects to need them, but any one of us, or someone we love, could.

Knowing that my training, fundraising and every mile I run could help keep this incredible service flying makes every early morning run, every sore leg and every difficult training session worthwhile.

Training for a marathon is going to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever done, but it doesn’t compare to the battles faced by the people London’s Air Ambulance helps every day.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, you’ll be helping this amazing charity continue saving lives across London. If you can’t donate, your encouragement and support throughout my journey will mean just as much.

Thank you for believing in me and for helping me support such an incredible cause. I’ll be thinking of everyone who has supported me every step of the 26.2 miles.

Thank you. ❤️
