๐ญ Why I put this site together
I wanted to bring a little insight and support for first-time runners - because I've been there, feeling lost myself! ๐โโ๏ธ
๐ If you find anything useful, I'd be so grateful for any donation support you can spare (link below!).

๐ Support My Fundraising๐ Why I'm Running the London Marathon (again!)
In 2024, I had the privilege (and pain! ๐
) of running the London Marathon. I told myself it would be a one-time thing.
Yet here I am, signed up again for 2026, this time with a different purpose.
I'm running to support Ambitious about Autism ๐, a charity that's doing vital work to create a world where autistic children and young people can thrive. Their practical, committed approach helps young people access education, build skills for employment, and feel included - something that should be a given, not a goal.
I've seen first-hand how important early support, understanding, and advocacy can be - not just for the young person, but for the whole family. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง
Training for a marathon is never easy (and I'm not getting any younger! ๐), but I know that every mile will mean something more because it's for this cause. If you're able to donate - even a small amount - it would mean a lot. You won't just be cheering me on. You'll be backing a charity that makes a real difference, every single day.
Thank you. Let's make those miles matter. ๐๐โโ๏ธ
