In 2020, I planned to run the Belfast City Marathon, but like so many things, COVID put that dream on hold. Now, on Sunday, May 4, 2025, I’m making it happen—to celebrate 60 years on this planet and to raise funds for a cause close to my heart: the Air Ambulances in Northern Ireland.

Having spent years exploring the Mourne Mountains, I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible work these teams do—saving lives in remote, rugged landscapes where regular emergency services simply can’t reach. Their dedication, skill, and courage make a vital difference every day, and now, I want to give back.

The funds raised will help cover my travel to Northern Ireland so I can take on this challenge. Once there, I will make a direct presentation of the funds to the organisers of the Belfast City Marathon, using their BACS system to ensure the donation goes straight to this life-saving service.

I need your help to get to the start line, push through the toughest run of my life, and make a fat and fantastic donation to this incredible team. Every step I take is for them—let’s make it count!
