Peter & Carmen fundraising for Jesuit Refugee Service

Raising money for Jesuit Refugee Service

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

Team JRS UK is taking on the London Marathon 2026 to raise vital funds for our work accompanying, serving and advocating for the rights of refugees!

Story

Here we are, our next joint adventure! After running quite a few half-marathons and races together abroad, we are now going for the marathon! Who are we? We are a brother and sister duo, crazy and enabler in turns! We have both run a marathon to date, not the same one - Peter in Malta and Carmen in Amsterdam. But here we come - the London Marathon 2026! Super excited and scared at the same time. We both know 42.2km are no joke and we need your support to keep motivated and on track!

We are running the London Marathon 2026 to support refugees, by raising funds for the work of JRS UK! People who have been forced to flee their homes and seek sanctuary in the UK often face destitution and hostility. JRS UK accompanies, serves, and advocates for the rights of refugees - providing essential support like food, accommodation, and advice as well as helping people navigate a hostile asylum system.

Having researched JRS UK's programmes we are confident that every penny raised will go towards funding vital initiatives that make what many take for granted in their everyday lives a reality for those who have not been as lucky as us. So please donate! Feel the joy of giving! Let us know that our 42.2km on race day and countless miles of training will mean more than just a medal. Together, we can make a difference!

Thank you :)
