Hannah' London Marathon

About

When I was just five years old, I stood at the barriers of the London Marathon and watched my father disappear into a sea of runners.

The music, crowd, darting across London to try catch him at a number of different spots has stayed with me ever since. 

For seven years, I have applied to run the London Marathon. This year, I got the call.

Why I'm Running

Running has been my lifeline. It keeps me sane and grounded.

For the past 15 years, I've called Africa home, and I've seen the incredible resilience of girls here and the devastating barriers that stand in their way.

That's why I'm running for the Netball Development Trust a charity using sport to transform lives, break cycles, and open doors for girls to be able to gain all the benefits being active can provide. 


What the Netball Development Trust Does

The Netball Development Trust operates in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, and India. They don't just teach netball — they use the game as a tool to:

  • Provide sexual health education that empowers girls to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures
  • Create pathways to education — 48 girls in Kenya have already earned full sports scholarships through NDT's programme

Over 24,000 children have been reached. That's 24,000 lives impacted by the power of sport & education.

What Your Donation Does

Every pound you give runs further than you think:

  • £10 helps provide basic sports equipment so a girl can join a netball session for the first time
  • £30 covers a month of coaching, health education, and mentorship for one girl
  • £60 funds a full season of netball and sexual health education
  • £100 provides a full year of the programme — the kind of year that rewrites a girl's

Supporting

Netball Development Trust

A UK registered charity which delivers netball at grassroots level to children in some of the least developed regions of the world. We use netball as a tool to bring communities together, where we deliver 'sexual and reproductive health' awareness. NDT is the only charity in the world exclusively using netball to support and educate young people with their sexual and reproductive health and rights. We typically work at grass roots in less developed countries, allowing children the freedom to play and have fun. We work with schools and projects in the community to help young people to become players, leaders, coaches and officials of the future. We introduce the game of netball to boys and girls who lack access to sports facilities, opportunities, kit and equipment. The relationships they build with the coaches, then allows the delicate subjects sexual health to be discussed. Our programmes run throughout the year, led by our wonderful volunteers, predominantly in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda. We have partners working hard in Pakistan, though the UK team has less contact with the team there. Each year a NDT tour party visits the projects to upskill the volunteers, and celebrate the year?s success.
