I've created this page to make a difference in the lives of soldiers, veterans and their families.
I'm inspired by the work of the Army Benevolent Fund and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in 2026 TCS London Marathon. The ABF is the Army's national charity, supporting individuals and families as well as other leading charities to ensure help is there for soldiers, for life. Last year, they supported individuals aged from just 1 day old to 104 years old. You can read more of their stories here.
Please help me help them 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!
My Updates
10 Days In — No Excuses
10 days of hard graft
20–30k steps a day.
Lifting heavy. Training tired. Showing up regardless.
This is what prep for the London Marathon looks like.
I’m doing this for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity — supporting soldiers, veterans, and families when they need it most.
Feeling strong. Focused. Determined.
If you can support, I’d really appreciate it 👇
