Running the Chicago Marathon for WellChild – Jennifer’s Challenge

Jennifer Laptew is raising money for WellChild

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

WellChild is the national charity for seriously ill children. Thousands of children live with complex medical needs. Many spend months, or years in hospital because there is no support enabling them to leave. We exist to give these children the best chance to thrive: at home, with their families.

Story

Hi, I’m Jen

I’m thrilled to be taking on the Chicago Marathon on 11th October 2026 to raise funds for WellChild, a UK charity that supports seriously ill children and their families.

Running 26.2 miles is no small feat, but knowing that every step helps provide care, equipment, and support for children in need makes it worthwhile.

My fundraising goal is £2,000, and I’ve started by making my £100 personal donation to kick things off. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to WellChild to make a real difference in children’s lives.

How you can help:

Donate to my page – every pound counts!

Share my page with friends and family to help me reach my goal.

Join me in supporting this amazing cause.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping me make a difference for children who need it most.
