London Marathon 2025
I'm raising funds and awareness for the Army Benevolent Fund, a fantastic charity that supports our veterans community.
Having faced many personal challenges through my service and civilian life, I've been inspired by the work of The ABF and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in the London Marathon 2025.
This marathon journey has been the most difficult to date, with both a late entry and injury to contend with, but I remain resolute and up for the challenge.
I'd truly appreciate it if you could help by giving whatever you can using the 'donate' button. The more people that know about ABF, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
