Cape Town Marathon

Ignazio Messina is raising money for WellChild

Cape Town Marathon 2026 · 24 May 2026 ·

Run the 2026 Cape Town Marathon for WellChild and help seriously ill children to thrive at home wherever possible.

Story

In the heart of our community, there are children with complex medical needs who face daily challenges that many of us cannot even imagine. These brave young souls deserve the chance to thrive at home, surrounded by their families and supported by dedicated professionals. WellChild is committed to making this a reality by funding specialist nurses, connecting families through peer support, providing hands-on training, and transforming outdoor spaces into safe havens for play and growth.

As we prepare for the Cape Town Marathon on May 24, 2026, we invite you to join us in this vital mission. Your generous donation can make a profound difference in the lives of these children and their families.

For instance, just £150 could provide a day of a WellChild Family Coordinator’s time to support families through the WellChild Family Tree.

A contribution of £50 could fund a Parent Ambassador to host a local support group for parent carers in their region.

Even £20 can connect a WellChild Family to our essential information and support service.

Together, we can ensure that every child has the best possible chance to thrive at home with their loved ones. Please consider supporting our fundraising goal of £2,000 as we run for those who need it most. Your kindness can light the way for families navigating difficult times.
