In April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon to raise funds for TOFS.
This cause is deeply personal. My daughter Emily was born with long-gap OA and faced unimaginable challenges from day one. From life-saving surgeries and months in intensive care to ongoing feeding difficulties and painful complications, her strength and resilience inspire me every single day.
OA/TOF is rare, and awareness—even within the medical profession—is limited. Throughout Emily’s childhood, we encountered uncertainty and hesitation from healthcare providers, especially during emergencies when food became stuck in her oesophagus. On one occasion, she was even questioned about her mental health and asked if she had an eating disorder such as bulimia.
TOFS has been a lifeline for families like ours, offering support, raising awareness, and advocating for better care. They receive no government funding and rely entirely on donations.
Please support my marathon journey and help TOFS continue their incredible work. Every step I take is for Emily—and for every child who deserves a fighting chance.
