I'm fundraising for DBTH Charity

I’m incredibly proud to have been chosen to represent Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the 2026 London Marathon, running in support of our fantastic charity.

Let’s be honest — we’ve all needed the NHS at some point, whether it’s for a routine check up or something more serious. For me, this run is very personal. All four of my grandparents, who are sadly no longer with us, received care from the Trust — from Cancer treatment at the Chatsfield Suite to everyday appointments. The compassion they were shown has stayed with me, and now I have the opportunity to give something back.

I’ve also been fortunate enough to work at the Trust for nearly 12 years, so I see first hand the dedication, energy, and heart that our staff bring to their roles every day (yes — you’re even supporting me when you donate!). 

By supporting my marathon run, you’ll be helping to fund real, meaningful improvements across Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Bassetlaw Hospital, and Montagu Hospital — from enhancing patient care to supporting staff wellbeing. Projects like the Serenity Suite, which offers vital space for families experiencing maternity bereavement, are just one example of the difference the charity makes.

You can find out more about the incredible projects the DBTH Charity has recently supported by visiting the DBTH charity page.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean a great deal! Every contribution helps to support the work that makes a real difference to patients and staff alike.

Albemarle Homes – Still Supporting Me, Five Years On!

Saturday 14th Jun

I’m buzzing to share that I’ve received an early donation towards my London Marathon fundraising goal, and it’s come from Albemarle Homes, a local housebuilder who’ve once again shown just how much they value their community.

When I reached out about supporting my marathon challenge for Doncaster & Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals Charity, they didn’t hesitate. They already support the Trust in other ways, so this donation feels extra generous, and it’s helped lay the foundations (pun definitely intended!) for my fundraising journey.

I actually bought my home from Albemarle five years ago. They were great throughout the process. Supportive then, and still supporting now. Just in a completely different way.

Massive thanks again to the team for helping get things off the ground.
