When asked why he wanted to take part in the London Marathon, Jamie commented: “Running the London Marathon has always been a dream of mine, and I never thought I’d get the chance due to its popularity. While watching the London Marathon on TV this year, my son asked me, ‘Daddy, can you run it?’ Without hesitation, I said yes.”

He added: “Initially, I didn’t get a place as 840,000 applied for only 17,000 spots. However, I learned about running for charity and reached out to Sense. After weeks of discussions, they offered me a rare spot to run the marathon on behalf of their charity!”

We wish Jamie the best of luck with his training and commend him for taking on this incredible challenge. To find out more about Jamie’s London Marathon journey or to donate, click here.
