Team Young Lives went viral in 2026
London Marathon 2026 was an amazing day filled with joy, determination and inspiring moments. Over 320 incredible runners took on this challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer, meeting every mile with determination and turning the streets plum and gold. 💜
It’s not too late to back the team!
One of these incredible runners was Liam, who ran in memory of his niece Freya, who sadly died last year after a rare brain tumour diagnosis. After finishing the marathon, Liam was met with an unexpected sea of cheers on the other side of the tube platform.
You can watch this amazing viral moment here:
It’s moments like Liam’s that make all the training and work worth it. We’re so incredibly proud of all our amazing runners, and everyone who supported them.
