My Story

As Hub Team Leader for Oasis East Southampton I have the joy and privilege of seeing and being part of the difference Oasis' Youth and Community Work makes to children, young people and their families through it's holistic support.

I am excited to be running London Marathon to raise money for Oasis. I have entered the London Marathon ballot 9 times so to have been selected for the Oasis 2026 Team is a real dream come true. I have run 2 marathons before (2018 and 2019), and said I would only run another marathon if it was London, and for a charity I was passionate about and had a personal connection with. So here I am!

You will hear me talking lots about this marathon over the coming weeks and months. Your support in helping me realise my dream and in doing so raising money for Oasis means so much, and will encourage me through the months of training. I enjoy the social side of running so training on my own is going to challenge me. I'm not a fast runner and will be aiming for a 6 hour finish on the day.
