Meet our 2026 runners
“In 2026, I’m honoured to run again for the Calvert Trust—but this time, I’ll be running with even greater purpose. I’ll be running alongside my best friend, who is taking on the challenge in support of Meath School, where her incredible son—my godson, Tommy—attends. Tommy was born at just 26 weeks and has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
Tommy is an inspiring, courageous little boy who brings so much joy and strength to everyone who knows him. The Calvert Trust supports children like Tommy—children who deserve the opportunity to explore, grow, and thrive in environments that are truly inclusive. This run is for him. It’s a dedication to his determination, his journey, and to every child who just needs the right support to reach their full potential.”
