Virgin Money London Marathon 2018
|
The Virgin Money London Marathon is one of the world’s most iconic running events and Children on the Edge are fortunate enough to be awarded a fundraising place every 4 years.
We currently have James Watkins raising money for us through his London Marathon place. It's his fifth marathon and he's not only aiming at raising £3,000, but is going for a personal best of a sub 4 hour finish. If you have your own place and would like to use the London Marathon to raise money for us, then please do let us know. We will be looking for applicants for our 2022 place in 2021, and will continue to encourage runners fortunate enough with their own London Marathon places in the years before this, to use the opportunity to raise funds for our work. If you think you’ve got what it takes and would like to fundraise for Children on the Edge, we would love to hear from you. Please send us an email explaining your interest in using the London Marathon to fundraise for us to fundraising@childrenontheedge.org or call 01243 538530 and we’ll support you every step of the way. To learn all about our previous London marathon runners, and how fundraising for Children on the Edge during the London Marathon was for them, look back at our blog stories, and if you’re aren’t running the London Marathon but are doing a challenge event and would still like to fundraise for us then please check out our challenges page. |

Children on the Edge
Children on the Edge exists to help marginalised and forgotten children, who are living on the edge of their societies. These are children without parental care, neglected or persecuted by their governments, ignored by international media and missed by large overseas agencies.
Working in partnership with local communities, we help to create safe, child friendly environments. We support children to realise their rights and we restore the ingredients of a full childhood by generating hope, life, colour and fun.
