TCS London Marathon 2027

Proudly fundraising for Stroke Association @ LDN27

In 2027, I'll be taking on the London Marathon to raise money for the Stroke Association, a charity that has become deeply personal to me.

At the end of 2026, my dad suffered a life-changing stroke. What followed was a long and uncertain journey, including major surgery, months in hospital, and an incredible fight to recover. Watching someone you love go through something like that changes your perspective forever.

The Stroke Association provides vital support to stroke survivors and their families, helping people rebuild their lives after one of the toughest challenges they can face. Through this marathon, I want to give something back to a charity that helps so many families during such difficult times.

Over the coming months, I'll be sharing my training journey, taking on fundraising challenges, and doing everything I can to raise as much money as possible. Every donation, no matter the size, will help fund life changing support, research, and recovery services for those affected by strokes.

Thank you so much for your support. It genuinely means the world to me, my family, and everyone whose lives have been affected by such devastating times.
