Hi everyone,

We are Robin and Lilly, and we’re both thrilled (and a little nervous!) to be running the Tokyo Marathon 2026. This isn’t just about the challenge of 26.2 miles – we’re running to raise money for two causes that mean a great deal to us:

‍♂️ Robin – Sports Legacy Foundation

Robin is running to support initiatives that use sport to inspire, educate and create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. The Sports Legacy Foundation helps build healthier communities and gives people access to sport where they might not otherwise have it.

‍♀️ Lilly – Plan International Japan “Run for Girls”

Lilly is running for Plan International’s Run4Girls campaign, which fights for girls’ rights and justice in developing countries – protecting them from discrimination, inequality and violence.

“I am passionate about helping women and girls reach their full potential. I’ve been lucky to have support from family, friends, colleagues and mentors throughout my life – something I often take for granted, yet so many girls never receive. Plan International Japan’s ‘Run for Girls’ resonates deeply with me because every girl deserves an education and the freedom to choose her own future. Running Tokyo for this cause is my way of showing what’s possible when someone is given the chance to rise.”

We would be so grateful for any donation you’re able to make. Your support will directly help us back these life‑changing causes and will keep us motivated through every mile of training and on race day in Tokyo!

Thank you so much for your generosity and encouragement.

– Robin & Lilly
