Story

On 27th April 2025 the HCPT London Marathon team will be donning their shorts and trainers to take on the 26.2 miles of the iconic London Marathon. They will be running towards a life-changing week in Lourdes for children living with disabilities or going through hardships.

As a charity we believe that every child, of any religion or none, deserves a childhood, full of God's gifts of love, friendship and joy.

We have ambitious goals to take over 1000 children in need to Lourdes next Easter. To do so we'll have to provide about 10 chartered flights from different regions of the country, to book over 35 hotels in Lourdes to accommodate our groups, to arrange around 30 special coaches with lifts for wheelchairs for transfers and excursions during the holiday week. BUT we can't do this without you!

Each £1075 will enable HCPT to take one more child to Lourdes at Easter 2025. Every childhood matters!
