Three friends from the Canary Islands have joined to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon next year for The Running Charity. We are already training to achieve our best running time, but we need your help to raise the funds to help homeless people.

The Running Charity believes that running is as good for your mind as it is for your body. Running builds resilience and self-esteem, and we use this to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Homelessness can happen at any time and to anyone. And when it happens to a young person it can affect them for the rest of their life. We use running to improve fitness and instil a goal-setting mentality that are key tools in helping these vulnerable young people to build healthy, sustainable futures.
