Whizz Kidz London Marathon 2026

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event
I’m running the London Marathon 2026… yes, ME! 😅🏃♀️
I'm equally excited and slightly terrified to say I’m taking on the London Marathon with Team Whizz-Kidz! That’s 26.2 miles , all to support a charity I admire for the incredible work they do.
More than 75,000 young people in the UK need a wheelchair to live life to the fullest—but most don’t have access to the right one for their needs. Whizz-Kidz is on a mission to change that. They make sure young wheelchair users (up to 25) are mobile, confident, and fully included in society. From providing made-to-measure chairs to running skills-building workshops and confidence-boosting courses, they are quite literally life-changers.
This isn’t just a cause I care about—it's one I live.
My 9-year-old son, Noah, was born with cerebral palsy and is unable to walk. Getting him the right wheelchair changed everything. Independence, joy, adventure… the freedom to be a kid. Although Noah was given a chair through the NHS, it didn’t fully meet his needs, so we fundraised for one that truly fit him—and watching him explore the world with confidence has been the best feeling ever.
I want that feeling for every child who needs it. 💛
Now, not to make this too much about me—but if you know me, you know a marathon is a massive challenge. The early mornings, the sore legs... I’ll be going through it all. Running is officially my new personality now (sorry in advance 😅), but I’m doing it for a great cause—and for families like mine who know just how life-changing the right support can be.
If you can donate—whether it’s the price of your morning coffee or more—I’d be so, so grateful. Every pound makes a difference, and together, we can help give more kids the freedom to roll through life with confidence.
Thank you for cheering me on and supporting this incredible charity! 💚
