My Story

I am taking on the challenge of the 2026 TCS London Marathon for Sailors' Society, an important charity who help those working at sea.

As a former seafarer, I understand the struggles sailors face at sea, from the everyday hardships of being away from loved ones for long periods or staying healthy and happy on board to the more serious issues of harrassment, abandonment or illness, everybody needs support from time to time.

The Sailors' Society is there to support seafarers and their families in those times of need, and offer a helping hand when it is required. For more information on what they do, head through to their profile page for examples of how they make a difference.

Please donate what you can to help me meet my fundraising target! It's my first ever marathon and it's going to be a BIG challenge! I've been training for months but I'm still slightly worried about what I'm undertaking. Its worth the sore muscles, blisters and early morning alarms if I can do my bit to support those seafarers who need the help.

Any donation, big or small, will be much appreciated, help to motivate my training, and go to a fantastic cause.
