Run2Paris May 2025

I'm fundraising for Parkinsons UK and SSAFA the Armed Forces Charity

Myself and 4 of my friends have signed up to Run2Paris in May.

Starting at the famous Wimbledon tennis club in southwest London and finishing under the Eiffel Tower in Paris four days later.

That's right - Stephen, Ash, Susanna, Paul and I are running to Paris. From London to Paris on foot, in just four days. Completing roughly a half marathon each per day. 

Wish us luck but more importantly please donate. 

Your donation will go towards two really important causes, supporting Parkinson's UK and SSAFA.

I really appreciate your support!!

What an epic adventure!! It was tough but we all finished intact and smiling!! A huge thanks to everyone who has sponsored us, we've raised an amazing total for two amazing charities. It's very humbling that you donated some of your hard-earned money towards this event.

Thank You

Running from London to Paris

Sunday 9th Mar
What an exciting adventure and for two fantastic charities! I can't wait to get started!

I've done some crazy things before, e.g. cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats for WaterAid and cycling from London to Edinburgh and back in just five days! I've run nine marathons, including London for WaterAid in 2017.

But this will be my longest running challenge to date, roughly four half marathons in four days. Training is going well and I'm immensely grateful to my school for allowing me to take time off during term to take on this challenge. 

I'd be very grateful if you could support me with a donation towards my fundraising goal :)

Thank you to my Sponsors
