A good cause for the long run

With a new year about to start, a new job and its focus on doing things that create a positive difference for others, I head into 2018 doing something that will do just that.

I am grateful to have secured a place in the Virgin Money London marathon and with that place and 10 colleagues from the 10xBanking team I am raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, which provides treatment, care and support for those with cancer aged between 13 and 24.

While I have run marathons in London and Nice a few times before it has been several years since I last clocked up so many miles running for a good cause. Being part of something where so many people go another mile to help others is very humbling.

Here's my fundraising page to support the Teenage Cancer Trust on the Virgin Money Giving site. It takes just a couple of clicks to donate.

A journey of many miles starts with single steps. The first few steps are underway …

All the best for everyone's 2018!
