Olivia's fundraiser for Sense

Olivia Quickenden is raising money for Sense

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Take part in London Marathon as a part of Team Sense, a group of incredible people who stand alongside disabled people with complex needs to break down barriers.

Story

Running the London Marathon has been a dream of mine for a long time — and now that dream is becoming a reality as I prepare to run for Sense in 2026. This opportunity means so much to me, not just as a personal challenge, but as a chance to support an incredible charity that transforms the lives of people who are deafblind or have complex communication needs.

Sense provides vital support, education, and care to individuals who often face immense isolation and barriers to everyday life. Many of the people Sense helps cannot rely on sight or hearing to connect with the world around them, making simple communication a daily struggle. Through their dedicated teams, Sense opens doors to independence, friendship, and belonging — gifts that most of us take for granted.

Every donation, no matter the size, directly funds essential services like specialist support workers, sensory activities, and life-changing equipment. These help individuals find their voice, gain confidence, and experience moments of joy and connection that would otherwise be impossible.

For me, running this marathon isn’t just about crossing the finish line — it’s about running with heart and purpose, knowing that every step supports Sense’s mission to break down barriers and build a more inclusive world. Your support means everything — to me, and to the thousands of people Sense serves every day. Thank you for joining me on this journey and helping to make a real difference.
