I am Charlotte, I am 26 years old and I am running the London Marathon 2026! I can't wait for it. I have Down Syndrome and I have chosen to raise money for the charity 'DS Achieve', where I work helping the children. Here is a bit more about it...

DS Achieve is a charity supporting children and young people with Down Syndrome and their families in Hertfordshire. We run weekly groups, help families access resources, as well as supporting schools by providing specialist resources and training for education professionals - all to ensure children can thrive, build confidence, and reach their potential. We rely on fundraising to ensure that all our services can continue - and to develop new ones. It costs over £70,000 each year to run our programmes, so every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Your support helps us keep these vital services running, fund activities and equipment, and give every child the chance to learn, grow, and shine. Every donation makes a real difference!
