I'm fundraising for... my maritime colleagues and friends, past and present
On 26 April 2026, I’ll be ignoring my late‑50s aging bones and taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon. I’m doing it to continue and honour the legacy of my father, Derek, who passed away in March 2025.
He was a lifelong supporter of King George’s Fund for Sailors (KGFS), the former name of The Seafarers’ Charity—an organisation that provides essential support to those who work at sea and their families.
The Seafarers’ Charity works tirelessly to improve lives, whether through emergency assistance, mental health support, or helping families stay connected.
Please be kind and generous in your sponsorship. Every donation helps extend the reach of this vital work and, moreover, will make my blisters and aches feel worthwhile. I’m already looking forward to the pint afterwards.
