My Story

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I’m raising money in aid of THE LIVING HOPE, and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. RICHMOND MARATHON SEPTEMBER 15TH 2024.

Having been a part of the amazing team of volunteers and getting to know the people we are helping, it’s so clear to me how even just a small amount of love and support can make such a massive difference. If I can raise anything for this charity, I know it will have such a huge impact on people’s lives.

The Living Hope, based in Herefordshire, supports individuals who have faced homelessness, addiction, and socio-economic challenges. They guide them towards health, support, accommodation, and independence. Additionally, they facilitate the transition from temporary to stable housing, focusing on independence through mentoring and advocacy.

This year, funds raised will build an outdoor garden and relaxation area at the move-on accommodation that TLH operates, providing a beautiful space for residents to dine, relax, and come together, enhancing their sense of community and well-being. We are also creating a woodworking workshop where residents, in this male-only house, can develop skills and experience the fulfillment of making something with their hands.

I have never run anything close to a marathon before, but knowing why I am doing it has pushed me on with the training, and I am praying it will get me past the finish line.

Thank you for your support!
