I’m running the London Marathon for Coach Core because two of the things that have brought me the most joy in life are moving my body and building a career I love. Growing up, I never really knew what kinds of jobs were out there. I want everyone to have the chance to discover what they’re good at and build a future that excites them. Coach Core does just that, helping young people gain skills and confidence through sport, opening doors to careers they might never have imagined. Supporting them feels like a perfect way to say thank you for the happiness movement and meaningful work have brought me.

CoachCore helps young people start careers in sport, giving them skills, confidence and real job opportunities. They believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunities often aren’t – and they’re working to change that.
