I'm proud to be a Trustee of the Cirdan Sailing Trust and wrote up this piece after helping to sponsor a voyage in 2023. The Cirdan Trust provides sailing experiences for young people who are disadvantaged in some way to experience the challenge and adventure of life at sea on large sailing vessels.

Some of you know that I ran the London Marathon this weekend! I’ve had so many lovely messages of support in the run up, on the day and afterwards that I feel a bit overwhelmed, and very humbled by it all. So, I thought I’d give you a quick run down of it by way of a ‘thank you’.

Hi everyone - just posting this here so it's easier for people to find! There's my original post below which tells you a little more about why I'm running the virtual London Marathon for Mermaids this year. (By the way, virtual still means doing all the miles on the London Marathon day! It's just via an app rather than in London.)

I'm a big fan of Sage Foundation and it's one of the reasons that joining Sage appealed to me. The Foundation supports charities and not-for-profit organisations especially those that help young people, women and ex-military personnel. I support Sage Foundation by getting involved in some of the initiatives (recently I've been mentoring some business students at Regent's University), but I wanted to do more.
