My marathon journey: running for a cause!

Why Whizz Kidz?

I chose to run the London Marathon in support of Whizz Kidz because of their incredible work empowering young wheelchair users to become confident, independent, and active members of society. As a paediatric occupational therapist, I've seen first-hand that the right wheelchair is about so much more than mobility; it's about giving a child the freedom to learn, play, make friends, and participate in activities they love. Every child deserves that oportunity. Supporting children to reach their full potential is at the heart  of my career, which is why Whizz Kidz's mission means so much to me. Every mile I run and every pound I raise will help provide life-changing equiptment, skills and opportunities for young people, giving them the confidence and independence they desreve. Thank you so much for supporting me and, more importantly, supporting the incredible work of Whizz Kidz.

My marathon training: fun miles and a high bar

So far, training has mainly involved getting very excited, telling everyone I’m running London... AGAIN... and then remembering exactly what I’ve signed myself up for! Having already completed London with a Taylor Swift cutout strapped to my back while handing out friendship bracelets to children along the route, I’ve possibly set the bar quite high for myself!

There are plenty of long runs, early mornings, tired legs, and questionable life choices ahead, but I know just how magical race day is. For now, I’m enjoying the fun miles before serious training begins—and wondering how on earth I’m going to top last year's outfit!
