Thank you for supporting The Children's Society London Marathon Team. Your fundraising makes a life changing difference. Mile by mile together we can create a society built for all children.

Story

In my 60th year, I am taking on my third London Marathon to raise money for The Children's Society. It is 8 years since I last completed such a ridiculous distance, but I am confident I can do it one more time especially with your support and encouragement.

Across the country, young people are suffering unseen and unheard – struggling with their mental health, living in poverty, and in danger from exploitation and abuse. Things cannot continue as they are.

The Children’s Society know a brighter future is possible. It is clear what a difference the right support can make. Mile by mile we can build a society where children can thrive, not just survive.

Help inspire me to train hard and complete the 26.2 miles on April 26th 2026. Please give generously. Thank you!
