Jill and Geoff will be running the London Marathon 2026 to raise £6000 for Parkrun in the memory of Tim Carlier who sadly hung up his running shoes in December 2024 after living with cancer for 3 years. We are supported by some amazing family and friends and we are all TeamTim.

For those who don’t know about Parkrun, it’s a weekly 5km event at locations all around the UK, and internationally, and is totally free and run by volunteers, but to our family it’s so much more.

Tim knew how important Parkrun was for his health, his Parkrun time was one of his key measures (and his personal best is yet to be broken by any of us). Parkrun is also our way of keeping a check on each other with a catch up and a coffee and you never know who you might meet each week.

Thank you so much for reading this. Your donation will make a real difference, and perhaps this will make you pop along at 9am on Saturday to your local parkrun and find out more about this friendly and very addictive weekly event.
