2026 TCS London Marathon

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

Hello - and thank you!

Still can’t quite believe it - but I’m going to be running the London Marathon 2026 for the Army Benevolent Fund 💚❤️

Earlier this year my dad lost his best friend Alex, who worked with the Army Benevolent Fund for many years. It will be an honour to run for a charity that meant so much to Alex and my Dad, who both served in the forces. I’m looking forward to running the marathon to prove to myself that I can do anything, as well as to pay tribute to Alex.

All donations will be very much appreciated 💖

Now I’m off to figure out how I’m going to run 26.2 miles 😅
