My Story

It has been my life time goal to run the London Marathon and so this year on Sunday 23rd April I will attempt to complete all 26.2 miles.

From a young child I have always been passionate about sport and being active and now I have my own children it is something which I enjoy encouraging them to be involved in too, yet sadly 55% of children do not achieve the minimum recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day and so I will be raising money for Youth Sport Trust.

Youth Sport Trust is the UK’s leading charity improving every young person’s education and development through sport and play.  Sport gives young people a platform to have their voice heard and a place to feel they belong.

The Youth Sport Trust charity run inclusive and innovative programmes that support young people and helps to improve physical and mental health, develop character and leadership and promote inclusion and empathy.

Millions of young people are missing out on the benefits that play and sport bring, and we know that when children are unhealthy and unhappy, they are less able to learn.

Youth Sport Trust helps to build a brighter future where every child enjoys the life-changing benefits of play and sport.
