Hi there, and thanks for visiting my page.

This autumn I’m taking on the Worksop Half Marathon – 13.1 miles – to raise money for Cash for Kids.

As we head into another winter, I can’t stop thinking about how many families are already at breaking point. The cost of living has pushed so many parents to the edge, and it’s the children who feel it the most. Too many kids are going to bed cold, missing meals, or missing out on the basics that every child deserves.

That’s why I’m running. Every mile I cover is for them – for the child who doesn’t have a warm coat this winter, for the family choosing between heating and eating, for the young person living with a disability who just needs a little extra support to thrive.

Cash for Kids makes sure every penny raised stays local, going straight to children and families who need it most. Together, we can lift that burden, even just a little, and show them they’re not forgotten.

I won’t lie – 13.1 miles is going to hurt. But it’s nothing compared to the struggles these children and families face every single day. And that’s what will drive me to the finish line.

If you can, please donate. No amount is too small – it all adds up to real change for real kids right on our doorstep. And if you’re able, leave a message of support too – I’ll be carrying your words with me on race day.

Let’s give children the brighter, warmer winter they deserve.
