London Marathon for The Seafarers' Charity

The Seafarers' Charity London Marathon 2026

I'm fundraising for... my colleaues and friends, past and present

On 26 April 2026, I’ll be ignoring my aging bones in my late 50s by taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon. This isn’t just about pushing my physical limits—I'm doing it to raise vital funds for The Seafarers’ Charity, an organisation that provides essential support to those who work at sea and their families. Seafarers often face harsh conditions, long periods away from loved ones, and unique challenges that many of us never have to consider. The Seafarers’ Charity works tirelessly to improve their lives—whether through emergency assistance, mental health support, or helping families stay connected. By running this marathon, I hope to shine a light on their resilience and raise funds that will make a real difference. Every donation helps extend the reach of this vital work.
