My Story

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm lacing up my trainers to run the London Marathon this year for an incredible cause close to my heart—Gift of Life, a UK charity that's doing something truly remarkable: helping children to beat cancer, no matter the obstacles. I'd love for you to join me on this journey!
 
Gift of Life is a small but mighty charity with a huge mission. They work tirelessly to provide essential medications, life-saving treatments, and hope to children in need. Bridging borders, overcoming barriers, and showing that kindness and courage can save lives. From funding cutting-edge drugs to supporting families through the toughest times, they’re a lifeline for so many. It’s inspiring to see how they keep going, even when the odds are stacked against them.
 
Running 26.2 miles is no small feat (trust me, my legs are already protesting!), but it’s nothing compared to the battles these children face every day. That’s why I’m asking for your support—whether you’re in LA, New York, London, Paris, Siberia, Dubai, Singapore, Bangkok or anywhere else in the world. Every penny, every cheer, brings us closer to giving these kids a fighting chance.
 
For my western friends: a little donation (even the cost of a cuppa!) can go a long way.
 
For my eastern friends: каждый вклад, даже самый маленький, это шаг к победе над болезнью для наших детей.
 
Together, we can show that compassion knows no borders.
 
So, please, dig deep if you can—donate, share this page, or just send me some good vibes for race day. Let’s make a difference, one step at a time.
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart—or, as we say in Russian, спасибо огромное!
 
Ready? Let’s run for life!
