London Marathon 2026

Andrew Lawes is raising money for Family Holiday Charity

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

In 2026, our team of Holiday Heroes will tackle the iconic 26.2-mile route set around the River Thames in the London Marathon. The money they raise will help families facing tough times feel the lasting impact of a holiday.

Story

Kay, or ‘Nan’ to Amelia (14) and Eden (9) set off from their home in the West Midlands, along with carer Becky. This was the first holiday Kay has had with her granddaughters since their mother passed away two and a half years ago.

Amelia and Eden now live with Kay who has disabilities. The girls help out at home by making tea and dressing their Nan.

Kay knew it was important that Amelia and Eden managed to have a proper break from their caring duties which is why Becky joined them for the holiday.

On the first day they wrapped up warm and spent the day on the beach. Before they went on holiday, Eden was looking forward to the evening entertainment, and Amelia wanted to play pool.

Kay just wanted her granddaughters to have a chance to relax and have fun. The holiday fulfilled all their wishes and more. Kay says they have never had so many belly laughs!
