London Marathon for Demelza

92.2KM. TWO RACES. ONE CAUSE.

92.2KM. TWO RACES. ONE CAUSE. 💜

In 2027 I’ll be taking on the London Marathon and returning to the Three Castles 50km Ultra Marathon, all to raise money for Demelza.

That’s 42.2km through London followed by a 50km Ultra, plus hundreds of training miles along the way.

My goal is to raise at least £2,500 for Demelza, and I’ve also got a little extra incentive for anyone who would like to support me…

🎟️ WIN A £250 VOUCHER OF YOUR CHOICE

I’m personally putting up a £250 voucher of the winner’s choice as a thank you for supporting my fundraising.

Every £10 donated gets you one entry into the raffle:

£10 = 1 entry
£20 = 2 entries
£50 = 5 entries
£100 = 10 entries

There’s no limit to how many entries you can have.

You can of course donate less than £10. Every single donation is massively appreciated and goes towards my fundraising total, you just won’t be entered into the raffle.

IMPORTANT RAFFLE INFORMATION

If you’d like to be entered:

Please DO NOT select Gift Aid.

Due to the rules around the raffle, anyone who claims Gift Aid on their donation cannot be entered into the draw.

Please also DO NOT donate anonymously.

I need to be able to identify you to add your entries to the raffle.

The £250 prize will be purchased and paid for personally by me. None of the money raised for Demelza will be used to fund the prize.

The winner will receive a £250 voucher from a recognised UK retailer of their choice, subject to availability.

The winner will be selected at random after I’ve completed both challenges.

Why Demelza?

Demelza is a charity that has meant a lot to my family for many years.

My Nan and Grandad were proud supporters and donors to Demelza, so being able to continue that support through something I’ve grown to love doing feels pretty special.

As a dad of three myself, the work Demelza does supporting seriously ill children and their families also means even more to me now.

Taking on the London Marathon and then returning to the Three Castles 50km Ultra gives me an opportunity to turn all those training miles into something that can genuinely make a difference.

So that’s the challenge.

92.2km of racing. Hundreds of training miles. At least £2,500 for Demelza.

Whether you donate £5, £10, £50 or simply share my page with someone else, every bit of support is massively appreciated.

Thank you 💜
