I’m honoured to be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2026 alongside my incredible wife Natalie, in support of the East of England Ambulance Service Charity.

Natalie’s been through a lot over the past few years, we lost our son, she faced some tough mental health challenges, and more recently, a sudden illness. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs, but through it all, she’s shown incredible strength, and I’ve seen her turn pain into purpose.

That purpose led her to become a Community First Responder (CFR) volunteering her time to help people in crisis, offering the same compassion and care that once helped her. I’ve seen firsthand the impact she makes, and I couldn’t be prouder to run this race by her side.

We’re running not just for ourselves, but for a cause that truly matters. The East of England Ambulance Service Charity supports CFRs like Natalie, funds vital training, and promotes the wellbeing of frontline teams and volunteers who dedicate their lives to saving others.

✨ Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement makes a real difference. Your support helps ensure that more people receive lifesaving care when they need it most.

Ian & Natalie Launder 💚
