Celebrating our Paris Marathon 2026 heroes

Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris

We’re proud to have an extraordinary team of runners taking on the the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris for Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity. Their passion and determination reflect our mission to ensure that every child and adult with dyslexia gets the support they need.

Join them on their journey. Every donation, share, or message of encouragement helps them go that little bit further—and creates a lasting impact for people with dyslexia.

Here are the remarkable individuals running for us in Paris this year:

Meet Aran

As someone who has lived with dyslexia my whole life, I understand first hand the daily challenges it can bring. I’ve always been determined not to let dyslexia define my potential, and I’m deeply passionate about raising awareness and support for others facing similar challenges.

Meet Naomi

I’m running to raise funds to support Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity. They give hope to parents and children who come to the charity feeling hopeless, and help to boost the self esteem and confidence of someone who has felt along and misunderstood.
