Story
In April 2026, we will be taking on one of the biggest challenges of our lives: running the London Marathon in support of Whizz-Kidz, a brilliant charity that changes the lives of young wheelchair users across the UK.
Whizz-Kidz doesn’t just provide essential mobility equipment like powered wheelchairs; they help young people build confidence, independence, and vital life skills. From social activities to training and support, they open doors to opportunities many of us take for granted.
This will be our first full marathon, and it’s going to be a huge test, both physically and mentally. We’ve previously run a half marathon together, but 26.2 miles is a whole new ball game! We’ll also be joined by our amazing friend Donna, who’s running for her own personal challenge.
Together, we’re aiming to raise £4,200 —enough to fund a life-changing powered wheelchair for two young people. Every donation, no matter the size, helps give someone the freedom, independence, and confidence they deserve.
We’d be so grateful for your support—whether it’s donating, sharing our story, or simply cheering us on throughout the months of training ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
Let’s do this—for Whizz-Kidz and the incredible young people they support.
With love,
Phoebe & Hannah x
