Story
4 cities. 4 marathons. 1mission.
Between October 2026 and September 2027, I will run 4 marathons to raise money for the Carli Lansley Foundation.
The Challenge
❤️ 18 October 2026 - Amsterdam Marathon
❤️ 4 April 2027 - Brighton Marathon
❤️ 25 April 2027 - London Marathon
❤️ 26 September 2027 - Berlin Marathon
Why I am running
I am taking on this challenge to support the Carli Lansley Foundation and its mission of keeping young hearts healthy.
The Foundation was established following the tragic passing of Carli Lansley from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome in 2017.
It raises funds to provide free ECG screenings for young people aged 14 to 35 in Southend. These screenings can help identify previously undiagnosed heart conditions.
The Foundation also installs defibrillators within the local community and provides free CPR and defibrillator training.
Every Mile has a Purpose
There will be months of training, early mornings, long weekend runs and difficult sessions.
There will probably also be moments when I question why I signed up for four marathons.
However, every mile will be run with a clear purpose.
How can you help
Every donation, no matter how large or small, will help the Foundation continue its important work.
Your support will also help motivate me through the training and towards all four finish lines.
Thank you for supporting my challenge and helping the Carli Lansley Foundation keep young hearts healthy.
Thank you ❤️
Matt
