My Story

I'm taking on the Great South Run to raise money for Pompey in the Community an incredible charity that uses the power of Portsmouth Football Club to change lives across our city.

This is a real challenge for me. I haven’t run properly in nearly 30 years, and I’m currently very overweight and unfit. But I’m determined to do this because I believe so strongly in the work this charity does.

Pompey in the Community supports over 36,000 people each year through education, health, and inclusion programmes. From delivering food bank donations and running inclusive cycling sessions, to supporting children on free school meals with holiday activities and meals, their impact is huge. They also run dementia support groups, disability sports, and help young people gain qualifications and confidence.

As a Trustee, I’ve seen firsthand how they ensure no one is left behind. Every pound raised will help them continue this vital work and crossing that finish line in October will be a personal milestone I’ll never forget.

Please support me if you can. Your donation will make a real difference.
