Thank you so much for everyone's support, my knees were saying 'no more' near the end which slowed me down slightly but I completed the course in just over 6 hours!

United Response are a small charity but help so many people every year supporting young people and adults with a range of mental health needs and disabilities – which include learning disabilities, autism, acquired brain injury, sensory impairments and dementia. Raising money for them is a great reason to run the marathon.

Since 1973 United Response has been fighting for a society where everyone has the right to live the life they choose, no matter their disability. United Response's first service was a single house for twelve adults in West Sussex. Now, they operate in over 350 locations, employing over 3,500 staff and supporting over 2,000 people. The core of their work is supporting people with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live independently. Increasingly, their services are developing into place-based community hubs where they facilitate active community involvement among the people they support. Your donations support people with learning disabilities to develop skills and gain confidence to live fulfilling and active lives.
