Story

Welcome to Team Save, London Marathon 2024!

This year we have a team of over 90 dedicated Save the Children runners taking part in this epic event!

In over 100 countries (including the UK), we support children to transform their lives. With global Save the Children members, our shared ambition is that by 2030;

- no child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday

- all children learn from a quality basic education

- violence against children is no longer tolerated.

By providing live-saving short-term help, and pushing for deep-rooted social change, we help children take their future into their own hands.

Thanks to your support, together we can help children to get the future they deserve. Children like Tomás (left) and his brother Edizon from Guatemala. We're making sure their school, as well as more than 280 other schools in Guatemala, get healthy and nutritious food so children are much better able to learn.

When I eat well at school, it means I am more creative,” says Tomás. “I would like to be a maths genius!

When you join Team Save you can expect to receive lots of training and fundraising hints and tips along with race day information and a running top! If you've got your own place in this event and haven't registered with us yet, click here or get in touch with events@savethechildren.org.uk
