Running London 2027 for Scope

I am incredibly proud to be returning to Team Scope for the 2027 London Marathon, having previously represented Scope at the London Marathon in 2026.

My running journey has taken me further than I ever imagined. Between September 2025 and April 2026, I completed four Abbott World Marathon Majors: Berlin, Chicago, Tokyo and London. I am now continuing my journey towards the Six Star Medal, with Boston and New York remaining to complete my goal.

However, this journey is about far more than medals and finish lines.

I have been deeply inspired by the life-changing work Scope does to support disabled people, children and their families. Scope campaigns for equality, provides practical advice and helps ensure that disabled people are given the opportunities, respect and support they deserve.

I will also be running in loving memory of my grandma, who lived with disabilities. Her strength and resilience continue to inspire me, and it means so much to be able to take on this challenge in her memory while supporting a charity whose work is so close to my heart.

Throughout my running journey, I have completed four marathons and raised more than £10,000 for four different charities. Every donation, message and word of encouragement has helped carry me through the difficult training sessions and the toughest miles on race day.

In 2027, I will once again take on the streets of London for Scope. I know the journey will be challenging, but knowing that every mile can help make a difference to the lives of disabled people will give me the motivation to keep moving forward.

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page. Any donation, no matter how large or small, will be genuinely appreciated and will help Scope continue its vital and life changing work.

Together, we can help create a society where all disabled people enjoy equality and fairness.

Thank you for your support.
