London Marathon 2026

🏃‍♂️ I’m running the London Marathon 2026 for Mum

In April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon in honour of my amazing mum, who we lost earlier this year.

I’m running to raise money for Asthma + Lung UK, a charity that supports people living with lung conditions and funds vital research. My mum lived with respiratory issues for many years, and this cause is incredibly close to my heart.


This won’t be easy for me. I haven’t run properly since 2017, but I’m determined to do this, not just as a runner, but as a son, a dad, and someone who wants to turn pain into purpose.

Every mile I run is for her.

Every donation you give helps others breathe easier.

And every bit of support gets me closer to the finish line, physically and emotionally.


Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s do something meaningful together. ❤️
