Meet the incredible fundraisers tackling the London Marathon 2023

On Sunday 23rd April our team of nine fundraisers will follow the iconic 26.2 mile course around London, joining over one million runners who have crossed the line since the historic race first began in 1981.

This once in a lifetime opportunity will not only bring the physical and mental health benefits of being active, but also the chance to ‘give back’ to the Gurkha veterans who put their lives on the line for Great Britain.
