Miles for Mimbles: The Great Wicket Marathon for Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal

Charlotte Jeffcutt is raising money for Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal

The Great Wicket Marathon · 31 August 2026

The Grand Appeal & Cots for Tots help transform the lives of sick babies and children from Bristol and across the South West. Help provide pioneering medical equipment, family accommodation and arts, music and play facilities supporting babies, children and their families when they need it most.

Story

This is Mimi.

Our brave, resilient little girl who never stops mimbling — the word we use for the way she keeps moving through life in her own determined, beautiful way.

Mimi is medically complex, and although the future is uncertain, what we do know is this: no matter what life throws at her, she keeps getting back up and keeps mimbling on.

The Bristol Royal Hospital for Children has felt like a second home for our family at times. The care Mimi has received — and continues to receive — is something we will be forever grateful for. The doctors, nurses, and teams there, supported by Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, have helped carry us through some of the hardest moments imaginable.

This challenge is our way of giving something back.

We’re taking on a marathon like no other:

🏏 26.2 miles run between two cricket wickets

That means:

* Over 1,000 short sprints

* Endless turns

* No straight path

* A true test of endurance, teamwork, and determination

A team of family and friends will take it in turns to run between the wickets, pushing through every mile together — because that’s what Mimi teaches us every single day: keep going.

We are raising money for Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal so they can continue supporting children like Mimi and families like ours when they need it most.

If you are able to support us, thank you. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference.

💛 Every run counts. Every step is for Mimi. 💛

We are hoping that this will take place towards the end of summer. More details to follow as soon as we have date and venue confirmed 🏏❤️
