The Story
On the 27th April 2025 I’ll be running the TCS London Marathon! Despite always being a sporty and active child growing up I’ve always struggled with running (specifically anything over about 100m).
I started taking up running again around 2 years ago and after having only run up to 5km I was successful in gaining a Marathon ballot place for this year. I’m now taking this opportunity to push myself and prove I can do something I’ve always found so difficult.
Alongside this, it’s with pleasure that I am raising money for the Sadie Bristow Foundation. The charity inspires children to take up sports through Tennis in Schools Programmes and aims to improve access to specialist allergy nurses and spread knowledge about allergy awareness.
I’ve chosen this charity in honour of Sadie who was a very special young girl much loved by my aunt, uncle and cousins.
No matter how big or small any donations will be greatly appreciated and will make such a difference for a great cause.

Sadie Bristow Foundation
Following Sadie's tragic death, The Sadie Bristow Foundation has been founded to continue Sadie’s legacy by inspiring children to participate in sports and discover their true talents through our Tennis in Schools Programme. We also aim to improve access to specialist allergy nurses and spread knowledge about allergy awareness.
Supporting people with allergies
It took just one allergic reaction on a day out to take Sadie from her family. They knew about her allergies, they’d sat and fretted by her bedside as she suffered anaphylactic shock from a misplaced icecream scoop, they had researched, banged on doors and found specialists who could help.
The journey to finding the diagnosis and support for Sadie’s allergies was mentally exhausting and The Sadie Bristow Foundation wants to work to ensure that no other family should go through a similar process.
Our aims
The Sadie Bristow Foundation, working alongside Allergy UK and The Anaphylaxis Campaign aim to:
*Train a local nurse to become a specialist and advisor for allergies
*Open a specialist allergy clinic in the South East of England
*Support further research into preventing allergies developing into anaphylactic conditions
*Educate the wider community by providing information to schools, clubs and organisations.
"Well done Rhianna. Nan and I were planning it but left it too late 😆 x"
