Deirdre's fundraiser for War Child

Deirdre Houston is raising money for War Child

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 ·

Welcome to #TeamWarChild for the Hackney Half Marathon 2026! Our incredible team of runners are raising vital funds to help children in conflict zones across the world.

Story

It’s been a while since I hit the 13.1 mile mark, but with all the horrendous things going on in the world right now, especially the brutality and unimaginable trauma being suffered by children, I cannot think of a better charity to fundraise for… thank you for any donation you can make

War Child is striving for a world in which no child's life is torn apart by war. They protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living in war zones.

By making a donation, you will be making a difference to thousands of children whose lives have been turned upside-down by conflict. You’ll help War Child provide the emergency care and support they need to overcome the emotional and physical toll of conflict, as well as access to services to catch up on lost education that will help to transform their futures for the better.
