My Story

London’s an amazing city filled with the some of the world’s best restaurants, bars, supper clubs, museums, galleries, parks and iconic buildings (alongside huge sporting events attracting a global audience.. like Wimbledon and The London Marathon).

But it’s also a city of extreme inequality, with almost 30% of Londoners - including over 600,000 children - living in poverty. 

It’s for this reason that I - along with thirteen other runners from The Nudge - am taking on the (rather scary) challenge of running The TCS London Marathon on 23rd April on behalf of the amazing London Community Foundation (any amount you sponsor me will go directly to them).  The Foundation supports London’s small community charities and projects. These are the types of charities that are often run by local people who have personal experience of the challenges that they’re helping others overcome – like by running a food bank for those in food poverty; giving local children a fun, safe and supportive environment to head to after school; or by providing companionship to the elderly and lonely. These are also the types of charities and projects that continually struggle to raise funds to support their work (as only 4% of total charitable giving goes to micro charities), and for whom the smallest amounts of money can and will make a direct (and enormous) difference.

I’m currently trudging through the arduous process of training to run continuously on 23rd April for many hours on end (ideally without stopping, though I have some work to do there) in order to personally raise as much money as I possibly can for all of the local charities and community projects supported by The London Community Foundation. 

And I need your help because I’ve already sponsored myself once and it’s going to look weird if I keep doing it.

If you can sponsor me even the smallest amount to run the London Marathon, then your donation will A) give me a much needed morale boost, and keep me training until the big day on 23rd April, and it will B) go directly to supporting some of the most vulnerable people in London, who genuinely need your help.

THANK YOU.
