London Marathon 2026 – Going Again
In 2026, I’m taking on the London Marathon once again — and this time I’m determined to beat my 2025 time of 3 hours and 32 minutes and my fundraising amount of £4,450!
I’ll be running alongside my brother-in-law, Harry Kissock, a former member of the Coldstream Guards, as we continue raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund — a cause incredibly close to our hearts.
The Army Benevolent Fund provides vital support to serving soldiers, veterans and their families during times of hardship. We’ve seen the difference this charity makes, and we’re proud to support the incredible work they do.
Last year was an unforgettable experience, but we know we can push harder. Every mile we run in 2026 will be about honouring those who have served and helping ensure they and their families have the support they deserve.
If you’re able to donate or share this page, I’d be hugely grateful. Every contribution makes a real difference.
Thank you for your continued support — let’s see what 2026 brings. 💪🏃♂️

2025 charity write up.... I raised £4,450
In 2025, I’m taking on the incredible challenge of running the London Marathon, and I’m not doing it alone. I’ll be running alongside my brother-in-law, Harry Kissock, a former member of the Coldstream Guards. Together, we are fundraising for a cause that is incredibly close to both of our hearts—the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF).
Harry served in the Coldstream Guards, one of the most prestigious regiments in the British Army, with immense pride and dedication. His experiences during his service have shaped him in many ways, and we both understand how much the Army Benevolent Fund has done to support not just soldiers but their families too, during difficult times.
The ABF is a charity that provides vital support to serving and retired soldiers, veterans, and their families. Whether it’s helping those who have been injured during their service or assisting families facing hardship, the Army Benevolent Fund is there to provide a safety net. The work they do is vital, and it’s a cause we are proud to support.
For me, this marathon represents much more than just a physical challenge. It’s a way to honour the men and women who have served in the British Army and to give back to the charity that has made a real difference in their lives. Running this marathon with Harry is also a chance to celebrate his service in the Coldstream Guards, and to acknowledge the sacrifices made by so many members of the Armed Forces.
Training for this marathon has been no easy feat, but knowing we are running for such an important cause keeps us motivated. We’ve been pushing ourselves through the long runs, the early mornings, and the sore muscles, all with the knowledge that the money we raise will go to support those who need it most. It’s humbling to think that every step we take on race day will be a step closer to helping a soldier or their family through a difficult time.
Harry and I both feel a deep sense of pride in being able to support the Army Benevolent Fund. It’s a charity that has helped so many, including soldiers who’ve experienced physical and emotional trauma during their service. As a family, we’ve seen firsthand the positive impact the ABF has had, and we want to help ensure it continues its crucial work for many years to come.
If you are able to donate, any contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference. We are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer as we prepare to take on this marathon challenge. Together, we can help provide the Army Benevolent Fund with the resources it needs to support those who’ve given so much for our country.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your support means the world to us and to those who rely on the Army Benevolent Fund. We’re ready to run the London Marathon—and we know we’re doing it for something truly worthwhile.
Best of Luck!
