Hi everyone,

I’ve set myself a challenge — I’m running the London Half Marathon 2026! But I’m not just doing it for the personal accomplishment. I’m lacing up my running shoes to raise money for an incredible charity I wholeheartedly believe in: Rays of Sunshine.

Rays of Sunshine brings joy, hope, and unforgettable experiences to seriously ill children across the UK. Whether it’s granting a once-in-a-lifetime wish, organizing magical hospital activity days, or simply giving a child something to smile about during treatment — they go above and beyond to brighten lives when it's needed most.

I’m proud to say that through Funstation, we already work closely with Rays of Sunshine to support their amazing mission. From wish-granting experiences & VIP days in our venues to fundraising initiatives and charity days, we’ve seen first-hand the joy and positivity this charity brings to children and their families. It’s inspiring — and it’s one of the many reasons I wanted to go one step further and take on this half marathon challenge.

The training isn't easy — there has already been early mornings, sore legs, and moments of doubt. But every step I take is driven by the thought of the children and families who face far greater challenges every single day with courage and strength.

With your help, I want to raise as much as I possibly can to support Rays of Sunshine’s incredible work. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will help bring smiles to faces that truly need them.

Let’s make this run count. Let’s make more wishes come true.

Thank you so much for your support,

Chris Alexander
