Children from the poorest backgrounds shouldn't have their potential cut short before their lives have really begun.

The London Landmarks is the only race to go through both the City of Westminster and the City of London, and to celebrate the city's quirky cultural and historical heritage! Find out more details at https://llhm.co.uk/.

Money raised by runners taking part in this event will help to transform the life stories of disadvantaged children in the UK.

On average, children from the poorest backgrounds start school 19 months behind their more privileged peers.

Children without the expected level of literacy skills are held back at every stage of their lives. They are:

- five times more likely to fail to meet the expected standards in English at age 11

- four times more likely to be unemployed aged 34

- three times more likely to have mental health problems as adults.
