We’d like to introduce you to the amazing runners training hard to run an epic 26.2 miles in this year’s marathon taking place on Sunday 2nd October. 

It’s a huge commitment, with months of training in all weathers. This year they’ve had to cope with weeks of extreme heat and now thunderstorms and torrential rain!

Please show your support for their heroic efforts and encourage them to get to the finish line.

It continues to be such a difficult time for many charities, and we are really truly grateful for their amazing efforts raising funds to support children and adults with dyslexia.

If you could donate a few pounds to spur them on, please click on their names below to find out more about their marathon stories.  Thank you.
