The Leah Wilby Foundation London Marathon 2025 Fundraiser

I am honoured to have been chosen by The Leah Wilby Foundation to run the London Marathon in 2025, to raise money for their amazing charity.

Leah was a very special young lady who was tragically diagnosed with cancer at the age of 8. She bravely fought her battle with cancer for 7 years until she heartbreakingly passed away at 15 years old.

Leah’s incredible family set up The Leah Wilby Foundation in August 2011, to keep her memory alive and to help other families supporting young people suffering from childhood cancer in the UK.

The Leah Wilby Foundation provides holiday accommodation at their self contained 6 berth static caravan at Haven Seashore in Great Yarmouth. The caravan is available free of charge for any child and their family who are being treated by a paediatric oncologist in Great Britain.

Families can stay in the accommodation whilst their young children are receiving cancer treatment in the local hospitals. As you can imagine, this is an incredibly kind gesture for any parent going through such a heartbreaking time, and also a much needed respite for the child themselves.

Please kindly donate what you can, so that this amazing charity can continue helping the children and their families that need it the most.
