My Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. 

I am running the London Marathon on behalf of EACH and in honour of my firstborn son Henry.

Henry was born prematurely in Jan 2022 and sadly passed away when he was 10 days old. 

EACH were there for Chris and I every step of the way in helping us navigate this tough period of our lives, and continue to support us by creating a safe space to talk openly and providing ways to help us honour and remember Henry’s short and impactful life.

I don’t feel you can ever appreciate how vital and important charities like EACH are until you are in a position where you need help and they selflessly step in.

The staff at The Nook (Norwich’s EACH Hospice) are some of the most kind and generous people I have come across and the work they do to help families is simply priceless.

I am therefore running for Henry and for EACH and anything you can donate would be hugely appreciated to help support the important work they do. 

Thank you for reading my story.

About us

The London Marathon has become an annual, inspiring and colourful fixture in the world’s sporting calendar since the inaugural race on 29 March 1981: a celebration of fun, fundraising and fancy dress.

Over the years more than a million people have completed the 26.2-mile course – which runs from Blackheath to The Mall, with a spectacular finish in front of Buckingham Palace, showcasing the very best that the capital city has to offer.

What’s more, these participants have raised over a billion pounds for charity and there have been countless amazing tales of human achievement throughout the event’s history – living up to its aim of helping participants ‘to have fun, and provide some happiness and sense of achievement in a troubled world’.
