I am running two marathons in April 2025 (Brighton and London) to raise money for an incredible charity, SeeNepal.

Millions in Nepal lack access to basic eye care and are needlessly blind or visually impaired. The money raised will transform lives in remote areas of Nepal, where eye healthcare is incredibly scarce. It will also help empower these communities by helping children learn, adults work and the elderly live with dignity.

SeeNepal has already made a great positive impact:

Please donate what you can to help continue the incredible work already being done by this wonderful charity!

...Or donate what you can to see me suffer! - Whichever is more appealing!

I'll be running Brighton on 6th April and London on 27th April (in case you were wondering) - so please do give me a shout if you see me on the courses!

SeeNepal has worked in collaboration with Runderbolts, my running community, a few times in the past and I'm so happy to be able to contribute this time.

If you want further info on either SeeNepal (RCN 1206224) or the Runderbolts then please follow them on their social media or feel free to ask me!

Thank you in advance!

06/04/2025 UPDATE: Brighton Marathon done!!

It was sunny, a bit hilly, and tough mental push after the first 25km but glad it's done! Onwards to London next, after my knees come back to life.

Thanks you again to everyone who has donated so far!

27/04/2025 Update: London Marathon DONE!

Another hot day for a run meant that the struggle was real, yet again! But having done Brighton, I felt somewhat experienced!

The crowds at London are second to none in my humble opinion, and they truly pushed me through some of my toughest moments on the course.

And now, I can't quite believe it, but I've done 2 marathons in a month!! A younger version of me would have never believed it, but I am very proud of myself and feeling very blessed to have the support of everyone who has been with me at any part of this journey!

A HUUUGE THANK YOU everyone, once again, for helping me go beyond the fundraising target! I am so, so, so grateful for all of your help!

If I don't shut up about the marathons for a while, forgive me! ha

Now for some rest... until the next madness.
