Ben’s London Marathon 2024

London Marathon 2024 · 21 April 2024 ·
The cost of living crisis has taken a toll on all of us. Critical items like fuel, energy and food are more costing more and more.
As ever, those with the very least have been hardest hit. For the first time in a decade, homelessness has risen in the UK. This shocking statistic means that thousands will sleep on the streets tonight.
We can change this. Shelter are on the frontline of the battle. They exist to defend the right to a safe home. Through advice, support and campaigning, their incredible work is helping to protect those who have so little.
Running the London Marathon is my way of giving something back. Having only really run the half-marathon distance, this is going to be the toughest challenge I have faced.
No matter the size, every donation and message of support will power me through the 26.2 miles.
