Update 24th April 2024 - they smashed it!

Congratulations to our fabulous team who all smashed it on the day and who have now raised over £44,000 (and counting) for the MPS Society! What a team! Thank you to everyone who sponsored them, who encouraged them, who turned up on the day to cheer them on and a HUGE thank you to our 2024 #LondonMarathon team. In the words of our CEO Bob, "our runners are absolute heroes". Well done and congratulations Jess, Jon, Joe, Kevin, Hana, Damian, Craig and James. We have had such a blast supporting you on this incredible journey. THANK YOU!

Our amazing team of runners are preparing to take on the ultimate challenge, the 2024 TCS London Marathon, which is taking place on 21st April 2024.

Our charity runners are Jon, James, Craig, Kevin, Jess, Hana and Damian. We also have one own place runner so far, Joe. Unfortunately Josie has had to defer but we hope to see her running for us next year. The team keep smashing every target we set for them, which is amazing! What fantastic fundraisers they are and so lovely to see the support they are receiving from their friends, family and colleagues. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

If you want to support our team, we'd love you to come along on the day and cheer them on. If you can't make it on the day, you can donate to an individual runner's page or spur on the whole team by donating via this page. You can also send good luck messages for them to the email address below.

The MPS Society provides vital support to families affected by one of 27 rare, life-limiting genetic conditions. We want all affected children and adults to have access to exceptional support and advice, world-class clinical care and effective treatments.

As a small charity, we rely on wonderful people like our team of runners to raise funds so we can transform the lives of those affected by these conditions.

The support from the MPS Society has been amazing: from always being there at the end of the phone to producing literature in non-medical language.

Events organised by the MPS Society have given us opportunities to connect with other families outside of the hospital environment, which has helped to build a network of support.
