I'm running the Brighton & London Marathons for Demelza
In April I will running both the Brighton & London Marathons for Demelza. I will also be running the London half of this challenge alongside my daughter Holly.Demelza is a charity that is close to our hearts, as we live locally to their hospice in Eltham.
Demelza delivers extraordinary care to extraordinary children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex. Were here for them and their families with expert clinical, emotional and practical support at every step from first diagnosis and for as long as were needed.
When they need us most, well be there; to reassure, to guide and to care. By their side when they feel isolated, helping to create joy in family life during challenging times and making precious memories.
Demelza believes in care that doesn't back down.

A little about me.
Wednesday 29th Jul
I'm 49, and live in Plumstead, South East London. I am married to Claire, and we have two grown up daughters Laurie & Holly.
In April 2027 I will be running both the Brighton & London Marathons for Demelza.
I've been running for many years, and this isn't my first marathon. That was back when I was 18, when I ran the 1996 London Marathon. Since then I've completed London four more times in 2004, 2006, 2010, and 2021. I also completed a virtual in 2020, and Brighton in 2022. Buy my fondest marathon memory was pacing our youngest daughter to her first marathon in April 2026, as we pounded the streets of Manchester together. I am pleased to say the Holly will once again be joining me on London half of this double marathon challenge, and is also raising funds for Demelza.
So this will be marathons 9 & 10, just before it hit that 50th birthday milestone next year.
In the world of running I am also an Ambassador for the National Running Show, where I manage the celebrity speakers meet & greet area.
I am also the Group Lead Volunteer at the 7th Royal Greenwich Scout Group, which I founded alongside my wife, a secondary school governor, holder of a private pilots licence, and the current Sport Crossbow British & World Champion.
Professionally I have worked for London Underground for 30 years, and I'm currently a Duty Reliability Manager on the District Line.
Demelza is a charity close to both of our hearts, as one of their Hospice's are very local to us, and the support & care they give to the children & young people in their care, and to their families, is so valuable.
