War Child x Hackney Half Marathon 2026

Patrick Armstrong is raising money for War Child

Team: Katie and Paddy run for War Child!

Hackney Half Marathon 2026 · 17 May 2026 ·

Welcome to #TeamWarChild for the Hackney Half Marathon 2026! Our incredible team of runners are raising vital funds to help children in conflict zones across the world.

Story

Katie and Paddy are running the Hackney Half Marathon for War Child on May 17th - the charity Katie has worked at for the past year.

Right now, 1 in 5 children around the world are living through conflict. That’s 520 million children.💔

War Child is driven by a single goal: ensuring a safe future for every child living through war. 🩵

Through emergency mental health support, education and child protection, War Child stands up for the rights of children in some of the hardest places on earth. 🌍

During war, children suffer severe psychological trauma, lose access to school, and often become vulnerable to separation from their families and caregivers.🫶

War Child’s teams on the ground across the Middle East, Africa, Ukraine and Afghanistan are completely incredible. 🌟

And so we’re raising £1000 (hopefully more!) to help War Child continue to be there for children who need it most. Any amount would mean the world - thank you so much. ❤️
