London Marathon 2026🏃

Jacob Thorold is raising money for Cure Parkinson’s

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Team Cure are taking on the 2026 TCS London Marathon, hoping to raise over £100,000 to fund cutting edge research into potential new treatments that could slow, stop or reverse Parkinson's.

Story

The goal for next year is bigger and better. I’ve managed to secure a charity place in the 2026 London Marathon — out of around a thousand applicants, only 50 got in, and I’m one of them.

I’ll be running for Cure Parkinson’s, a cause that means a lot to me. Every race I’ve done so far has been dedicated to this charity, and this one’s no different. The official fundraising target is £2,500, but I’m aiming to go beyond that.

As many of you know, my grandad had Parkinson’s — my tattoo is a permanent reminder of him and why I run.

Any donations, big or small, mean the world. Let’s hit that target together! (Otherwise, it’s going to be an expensive one for me 😅)
