Carl Fandango Funk and big bro Lawrence are lacing up for the London Marathon on Sunday, 26 April 2026, running in support of Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) - a brilliant Leatherhead-based charity helping disabled people live as independently as possible.

QEF has been empowering lives for over 90 years through expert care and innovative support. From neuro rehab to bespoke mobility equipment for children, driving assessments to supported living, they deliver hands-on, human-focused services that truly change lives. Last year, their teams of over 250 staff and 230 volunteers provided £9.14 million worth of charitable services across the UK - and Carl and Lawrence are committed to raising £5,000 to help them keep making a difference.

We appreciate your support in making any donation possible.

More about QEF:

Over the last year QEF has worked with over 10,000 disabled adults and children living with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries, supporting them in gaining new skills and increased independence.

Whether its learning everyday life skills, rebuilding a life affected by brain injury or acquiring the skills to drive a specially adapted car, QEF supports disabled people to achieve their potential, so they can be as independent as possible and live enriched and fulfilled lives.

There are 16m disabled people in the UK.

Every 90 seconds someone is admitted into hospital with an acquired brain injury.

In the next 20 years, the rate of first-time strokes in people 45+ is expected to rise by 59%.
