🌟 A LIFE-CHANGING CHALLENGE: MY LONDON MARATHON 🌟 🏁 I DID IT!!! 🏁
I achieved something I once thought might never be possible – I crossed the finish line of the London Marathon.
It’s hard to find the right words to describe the day. The atmosphere across London was absolutely incredible – the kindness, support and encouragement from complete strangers lining the streets was truly overwhelming. Every cheer, every clap, every shout of my name helped carry me through, especially during the toughest miles.
The heat made it an even greater challenge, and there were moments when my body was screaming at me to stop. But, like so many others, I kept pushing forward, remembering why I was there and who I was running for. Crossing the finish line wasn’t just the end of a race – it was the realisation of a dream I’ve held onto for so long.
I want to say the biggest thank you to everyone who supported me, sent good luck messages, donated to my fundraiser, and believed in me when I needed it most. Your kindness and encouragement kept me going more than you know.
Every penny raised for the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) (currently an amazing £10,000+) will help make a real difference to people living with axial SpA, and I’m so proud to have played a small part in supporting their incredible work.
This experience has been one of the toughest, most rewarding journeys of my life. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Together, we made it happen!
With gratitude and pride,
Oliver

💖 How you can help
Please join me in this mission by donating to my fundraiser for NASS. Every contribution—big or small—will make a difference to someone’s life. £10,000 is an incredible amount of money, help me in raising some more for NASS.

Your generosity and encouragement will fuel every step of my journey.
This marathon is more than just 26.2 miles—it’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of community. Thank you for believing in me and supporting this incredible cause.
