Virgin Money London Marathon
|
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 one fundraising place every 4 years.
In 2018 James Watkins used our charity place to raise thousands of pounds for Children on the Edge. 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. 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.
