Miles for Mind, Lungs and Memory

This one’s personal.
In 2026 I’ll be taking on five ultra marathons, all building towards one big goal. In January 2027 I’m aiming to complete a 100 mile ultra. Then to round it all off, I’ll be running the London Marathon in 2027 as the final push for this charity journey.
The miles are going to hurt. But they’ve got meaning.
I’m raising money for Place2Be, Asthma + Lung UK and Dementia UK.
My Gran and my Papa both passed away from lung related conditions. Seeing people you love struggle with something as basic as breathing stays with you. It’s tough to watch and even tougher to feel helpless. Supporting Asthma + Lung UK is my way of giving something back and helping families who are facing that same fight.
My Nan is living with dementia. Anyone who has experienced it in their family knows how hard it is. It slowly changes the person you’ve known your whole life. Dementia UK supports families through that process, and that kind of support really matters when things feel overwhelming.
But I didn’t just want this to be about the older generation.
I also wanted to support young people. The world feels heavier than it used to, especially for kids. That’s why Place2Be means a lot to me. Children should have proper support with their mental health. They should have someone to talk to and somewhere safe to turn when things feel too much.
This challenge is about both ends of life. Supporting the generation that raised us, and helping the generation that’s growing up now.
Five ultras.
One 100 miler.
Finishing at the London Marathon.
Every mile is for them.
If you can donate, thank you. Honestly, it means more than you know. And if you can’t, sharing this page is just as appreciated.
Let’s try and turn something that’s affected my family into something that helps others.
