London Marathon April 26 - Ian Burks

Ian Burks is raising money for YMCA East Surrey

London Marathon - running for YMCA East Surrey · 26 April 2026 ·

YMCA East Surrey offers a variety of programmes and activities to help people believe in themselves, support them to achieve their goals and inspire them to reach their full potential. Our wide range of community services focus on those who are vulnerable, have a disability or face disadvantage.

Story

On Sunday 26th April I will be attempting to complete the London Marathon - 41 years since I first ran it in my 20's!

Its not getting any easier but it will be worth it if I can raise some money for our latest YMCA project which is an exciting 14 bed housing project in Salfords, Redhill.

This new project (currently under construction) will offer high quality, affordable, housing and support for young people in East Surrey who need a helping hand to reach independence. The costs of developing the building are covered but we need your donations to provide essential items such as bedding, furniture and kitchen equipment to make a young person feel safe and valued. By fundraising for us, you’re helping to give vulnerable young people a fresh start and the chance to build a brighter future.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you so much for your support!
