Welcome to Starlight London Marathon 2024! We have an epic team this year to take part in the TCS London Marathon 2024, raising vital funds for seriously ill children in order to protect play in hospitals and offer hope for families.

Story

On 21st April 2024 I will be running the London Marathon for the charity ‘Starlight’. Starlight is a charity I believe to be very important, offering children the opportunity to continue their personal, social and emotional development even during the toughest of times and through the best means possible … play! They also offer support for siblings and families helping them to create memories that will last forever and so much more! Please read below for a bit more information about this amazing charity. 

Thank you for any donation, no matter how big or small. Wish me luck!

More about the charity: 

Life in hospital isn’t easy, especially when you’re young. Suddenly you find yourself in a strange and lonely place full of unfamiliar sights and sounds. In donating to the London Marathon you are directly helping children to cope with serious illness by giving them tools to manage these times when they need it most. Not only this, but you're also helping to support their siblings and parents by providing vital funds to provide them with funding family breaks and away days, giving them a chance to make comforting, life lasting memories together, no matter what the future may bring. From each and every one of them - THANK YOU!
