Chicago Marathon '26- The race is on 😎

David Kellitt is raising money for WellChild

Team: Assunta & Dave fundraising for WellChild

Chicago Marathon 2026 · 11 October 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Run the 2026 Chicago Marathon for WellChild and help seriously ill children to thrive at home.

Story

On 11th October, Assunta and I will be making questionable life choices around Chicago alongside thousands of other people who apparently think running 26.2 miles sounds fun.

We’ll both be running 26.2 miles/42km each for WellChild 😅😎

At this point, we’ll happily accept sponsorship at a rate of £/$/€1 per kilometre (ok maybe Miles is acceptable 😜) to help fund both the charity… and our rapidly escalating carb dependency.

WellChild fund specialist nurses, connect families through peer support and provide hands-on training for families of children with complex medical needs. Giving them the best possible chance to thrive at home, together with the people they love.

£20 can connect a family to WellChild's vital support service.

£50 can fund a Parent Ambassador to host a local support group.

£150 can provide a day of a Family Coordinator's time supporting families in need.

🙏🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
