What our fundraisers say...
The whole experience was great! It was a memory for life really, a really fantastic thing to reflect on, it was just amazing, the whole thing was amazing. The whole experience right from the beginning to the end with Help & Care has just been so nice for me, It’s been a lovely experience and I’m really glad I did it
Claire, 2020 Marathon Runner
So I started running a couple of years ago to get fit and lose weight and I really got into it. I don't have a bucket list but it's the 1 thing I've always sort of admired people for doing.
Mike, 2019 London Marathon Runner
I decided I wanted to run because I wanted a challenge; I wanted a mental challenge and I wanted a physical challenge.I think for me, I'm interested in the discipline of training, to know I've done it. Dream. Believe. Achieve.

Meet Claire, 2020 Runner
In 2019, Claire joined the Help & Care London Marathon team to run in 2020 and raise money for us. The event was postponed from April to October 2020 and then cancelled because of Covid-19. Instead, a monitored virtual run was organised on race day where participant chose their own 26.2 mile route. Claire was one of those that chose to do this.
Here’s what she has to say about the experience:
“The whole experience right from the beginning to the end with Help & Care has just been so nice for me; The different ideas you have to think about to raise the money, meeting up with neighbours and friends, and doing things that I would never normally have done has been really good for me. It’s not just the fact that you’re helping a charity, you’re actually doing something for yourself aswell! It’s been a lovely experience and I’m really glad I did it”
