London Marathon 2025

Ryan McGee is raising money for Family Holiday Charity

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

In 2025, our team of #HolidayHeroes, made up of 29 runners, will tackle the iconic 26.2-mile route set around the river Thames in the London Marathon. The money they raise will help families facing tough times feel the lasting impact of a holiday.

Story

I am running the London Marathon 2025 for The Family Holiday Charity.

What was your favourite family holiday memory?

Does it include: Ice creams? Laughter? Deciding to or not to go in the sea? Swimming? Weird and Wonderful Food? Long car journeys? Rollercoasters? Seeing landmarks? A restful break? A mini disco?...or something entirely different?

These are experiences become memories. As we go through life they bring a smile to our faces. They will be stories we share with our friends and families. They become part of who we are.

Unfortunately not every one is fortunate enough to be able to have this time away or time together experiences and this is where The Family Holiday Charity can come to the rescue.

The Family Holiday Charity sends families facing tough times on a much-needed holiday. Many families they support are struggling with additional caring responsibilities, bereavement, long-term illness, isolation, and mental health challenges, or are survivors of abuse.

This year, my fundraising target is £1,900. To send a family of four away costs, on average, £730.

I never imagined running a marathon and up to 18 months ago i had barely run 5km. However being a father myself I wanted to make a difference to other families.

Please donate now to help me reach my target and to support Family Holiday Charity to help even more families in 2025.

Thank you!
