I can't believe it, but I'm walking and jogging the London Marathon 2026.

Brain injury can challenge every aspect of life – walking, talking, thinking, and feeling – and the losses can be severe and permanent. It can mean losing both the life you once lived and the person you once were.
We all think, “It will never happen to me,” but every 90 seconds someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury.
In July 2025, I lost my father-in-law to a sudden brain aneurysm. Before he passed, while he was in a coma, I told him I was going to do the London Marathon. That promise stayed with me. As a coach and a singer, I help people find strength and meaning in their lives—and now I’m walking this marathon to do the same for myself.
I’m doing this for my health, my family, and to support Headway—an incredible charity helping those affected by brain injury and their loved ones. They offer vital services, support groups, and resources to help people rebuild when life changes without warning.
Please support if you can—your donation makes a difference, and every step I take brings us closer to hope.
