Why I’m running and how you can help (thank you)
Hi! 👋🏼 On 27 April 2025, I’ll be running the TCS London Marathon on behalf of the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) 👟
Like many of us, I have family, friends and colleagues either currently serving or who have served with the British Army 🇬🇧
Not only this, I am very proud to have worked alongside the British Armed Forces throughout my career, and that’s why I feel extremely privileged to be running and fundraising on behalf of ABF this year 💙
I’m deeply inspired by the lifetime of support that the ABF provides to soldiers, veterans and their families. You can read more about how the ABF offers support by visiting armybenevolentfund.org.
Please help me to help the ABF by giving whatever you can using the ‘donate’ button. I’m incredibly grateful for any amount you might be able to give, even the smallest donation can make the biggest difference so thank you 🙏🏼
Most people who know me will know I do enjoy a run, but 42.2km will be the furthest I’ve ever tried to tread… I’ll share some updates along the way, particularly as my training starts ramping up over the wet winter months… 🥴
Lastly, the more people that know about the ABF, the greater their impact, so I’d also be really grateful if you could please help me to spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family 🌟
A huge thank you in advance, your support means the world to me 🫶🏼
