Story

🐾 Running for Heroes Who Once Ran Into Danger 🐾

Support the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals in the 2026 London Marathon!

This year marks an exciting milestone for us at the NFRSA — for the first time ever, we have two incredible runners taking on the London Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for our cause!

Who We Are

At the NFRSA, we support the four-legged heroes who have spent their lives in service—whether in the police, fire, prison, border force, NCA and NHS services. These animals have worked tirelessly alongside their human partners, saving lives, protecting communities, and asking for nothing in return.

But when their service ends, so does their funding.

That’s where we step in.

We provide financial support for the ongoing care of retired service animals—helping with veterinary bills and specialist treatments—ensuring they enjoy the peaceful, healthy retirement they so richly deserve.

Why We’re Running

Our two amazing runners are lacing up their shoes and hitting the streets of London not just for the challenge, but for the cause. Every mile they run is a tribute to the bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice of these incredible animals.

How You Can Help

Your donation—big or small—will directly support the care of retired service animals across the UK.

Join Us on This Journey

This marathon is more than just 26.2 miles. It’s a mission. A movement. A moment to give back to those who’ve given everything.
