Want to join me in making a difference?
I’m raising money to benefit Shoe Aid, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
More information about Shoe Aid: There is a place where thousands of men, women, and children wear footwear that is not fit for purpose. And at least 280,000 homeless people (10,000 living on the streets) have no shoes or shoes that are falling to pieces, and that place is the UK.
Shoe Aid is a national charity based here in the UK who source and supply free footwear through a collection and distribution network, so no child or adult need go without shoes.
Back at it – and running for a cause close to my heart.
I’m back lacing up my running shoes to raise funds for Shoe-Aid, a charity I’ve proudly supported for over ten years.
From today right through to 15th March, every single run I do is for Shoe-Aid.
I’ve also got some big race days coming up:
Saturday 21st February – my first ever 10k at Victoria Embankment.
Sunday 8th March – the Nottingham City Run, starting at Old Market Square.
Sunday 15th March – a 10k in Derby, starting at Pride Park.
If you’re around on any of these dates, it would be brilliant to see friendly faces along the route showing support — it really does make a difference on race day.
About Shoe-Aid.
Shoe-Aid is a UK charity that collects donated footwear and redistributes it to people living in poverty and crisis, both in the UK and overseas. By providing practical footwear, Shoe-Aid helps protect health, restore dignity, and support individuals facing homelessness, displacement, and extreme hardship. A simple pair of shoes can genuinely change someone’s day — and sometimes their life.
If you’d like to support my running and help Shoe-Aid continue their amazing work, you can make a donation right here.
Every contribution, big or small, is hugely appreciated.
Thank you for the encouragement, the support, and the motivation — let’s keep moving forward together ♂️
