Running the 2027 London Marathon for Soldiers, Veterans and Their Families
In April 2027, I'll be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life, the TCS London Marathon, to raise £2,500 for the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF).
Supporting this charity is deeply personal to me. I have served as an Army Reservist for more than 20 years. Throughout my military service, I have had the privilege of serving alongside remarkable people who have dedicated themselves to protecting others, often at great personal sacrifice.
Many of my closest friends have served in the Armed Forces, both as Reservists and Regulars, and I have seen first-hand the commitment, resilience and selflessness that military life demands. While most service personnel never seek recognition for what they do, there are times when soldiers, veterans and their families need support. When those moments come, charities like the Army Benevolent Fund are there to help.
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 the 2027 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.
Whether it's helping a veteran adapt to life after service, supporting a family facing hardship, or providing assistance to those struggling with illness, injury or the cost of living, the ABF ensures that no member of the Army family is left to face challenges alone.
Every mile I run and every pound raised will help the ABF continue that vital work.
Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the "donate" button. The more people that know about the ABF, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.
Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a real difference to soldiers, veterans and their families.
Soldiers serve our country. Let's make sure we are there for them when they need us.
Get those running shoes on!!
