Run for Kev
Gareth’s story

On 12th April 2026, I’ll (Gareth) be lacing up my trainers and taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life: running my very first marathon in Paris.

This isn’t just about ticking off a huge item on my bucket list (although it definitely is that too!) – it’s about doing something meaningful for a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart.

I’m running to raise money for the Kevin Campbell Foundation. Kevin was not only a hero on the pitch but also a huge inspiration off it. As someone who grew up supporting Arsenal, Kevin’s passion, positivity, and legacy have had a massive influence on me. Supporting his foundation feels like the perfect way to honour his memory and help continue the amazing work he inspired.

This journey is also about making my family proud. They’ve always backed me, and now I want to show them what’s possible with determination, commitment, and a lot of training miles!

So, I’d be so grateful if you could support me in this challenge – whether it’s through a donation, sharing my page, or cheering me on. Every contribution, big or small, will go a long way in supporting the Kevin Campbell Foundation and keeping me motivated as I prepare for 26.2 miles through the streets of Paris.

Thank you so much for your support – let’s do this together! ❤️⚽️
