Run for their lives
The London Marathon is the greatest fundraising event on the planet! Thanks for choosing to run it as part of Team Young Lives.
THE CAUSE
Cancer is shocking, overwhelming, isolating … and completely unfair. Especially when you’re young.
From the moment of diagnosis, when young cancer patients like Toby are confused, scared and anxious, we’re there to help them, and their families cope.
We provide grants and free accommodation close to hospital to help with spiralling costs. And our care teams provide day-to-day support for each child, young person and family, from information and guidance to clinical care and specialist play during treatment. So they can focus on the important things, like getting well.
THE PERKS
We love our runners, and we want them to have an awesome marathon! Some of the benefits of joining our team are:
- Our online training zone where you can find training plans, pace calculators, ask questions and even get advice on what to wear
- Our closed Facebook group. Meet the rest of the 2020 team, share fundraising and training tips and get excited together
- A personalised running vest and face transfers, so you look awesome and stand out in the crowd
- The loudest, proudest cheer team along the route to help you smash through “the wall” and get across the finish line
- A well-deserved massage to get you ready for…
The massive post-race party where you can mingle with new friends, swap stories and celebrate how amazing you all are.
