Eeek! Running the London Marathon for Wycliffe Bible Translators

Robin Peake is raising money for Wycliffe Bible Translators

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Wycliffe's vision is to see a world where everyone can know Jesus through the Bible, yet today 1 in 5 people don't have access to God's word in their own language. Support our amazing London Marathon runners as they seek to change this step by step

Story

I'm turning 40 in 2026 so it feels like a good year to knock this one off the bucket list: running the iconic London Marathon. I am equally nervous and excited to be doing this!

Why am I doing it? Because I can't imagine not having the Bible in English. It's been so important to me growing up and as an adult, getting to know Jesus.

There's a man named Donatus in Nigeria, who like me has children. But unlike me, he can't read the Bible to them in his language.

That's not right, that's not fair. But it doesn't have to be that way.

I'm aiming to raise £10,000 to help translate the Bible for more people into their language.

Would you donate and help me hit my ambitious target? Every £25 gets me another 100m around the marathon course.

Thank you so much!
