About Michael
I started my running journey in November 2020, beginning with 5K runs before progressing to 10K. My passion for running grew, and in 2023, I took on my first half marathon at the Bristol Half Marathon. In 2024, I returned to Bristol for another half marathon and also completed the Big Half in September. Now, I’m taking on the biggest challenge of my life—the London Marathon on April 27, 2025. I’m running not just for myself but to raise money for two causes close to my heart: ERC (Emancipated Running Crew) and the Sickle Cell Society. ERC has been an incredible support system, fostering a community that empowers runners from diverse backgrounds. The Sickle Cell Society does vital work supporting individuals affected by sickle cell disorder, and I’m proud to contribute to their mission. Every mile I run is dedicated to these causes, and I’d love your support. Whether through a donation or simply cheering me on, your encouragement means the world. Let’s make a difference together!
Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good causes:
Emancipated Run Crew
Emanicpated Run Crew (ERC) was set up in 2019 by sisters Denise and Julia Stephenson (@we_run_we_eat) and friend Trojan Gordon (@thebeardedrunner) who were determined to challenge the lack of diversity in grassroots running by creating a virtual space where black and brown runners can support and encourage each other whatever our running goal. We will help you to run your own race and in doing so encourage you to Run Free!

The Sickle Cell Society
The Sickle Cell Society is the only national charity in the UK that supports and represents people affected by a sickle cell disorder to improve their overall quality of life.
First set up as a registered charity in 1979, the Sickle Cell Society has been working alongside health care professionals, parents, and people living with sickle cell to raise awareness of the disorder. The Society’s aim is to support those living with sickle cell, empowering them to achieve their full potential.
The Sickle Cell Society believes that individuals with sickle cell have the right to quality care. This can only be achieved if funding is made available to educate health carers and other professionals about the condition. The Society aims to provide this.
The Society does not discriminate between the types of sickle cell disorders or the ethnic groups concerned. Both sexes are equally affected, and should have equal access to support and services within a confidential and sensitive environment. We respect the views of every patient.
We have a network of committed volunteers, who play an important part in running the charity, providing administrative backup, and helping with fund-raising activities.
Donations from the public and fundraising activities are also part of our life support. Without them, we would be unable to finance the essential research and educational projects and we would be unable to offer children a much-needed holiday. The Society benefits from the support of a wide range of individuals and organisations nationally, who together play a vital role in its success.
