London Marathon 2026-2029
Complete a marathon like no other - race for Choices!
We are looking for two passionate runners to take on the challenge of the 2026 London Marathon to fundraise for Choices so that we can continue to support women and their partners through the challenges of parenthood.
This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of those who face emotional and psychological difficulties during this critical time.
To join our team, runners will need to pay a £50 sign-up fee and raise a minimum of £2,000 to fund our services. We also encourage you to reach out to your networks—especially those working in larger organizations or corporations—to see if anyone else is interested in running and fundraising for this worthy cause.
Your support will not only help us raise essential funds, but it will also raise awareness for an often overlooked issue, providing a lifeline to those who need it most.
