Alice and Alastair running the London Marathon for the Ruth Strauss Foundation

Alastair Cook is raising money for The Ruth Strauss Foundation

London Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

We provide professional emotional support to families facing the death of a parent.

Story

We have always said the year we turn 40 we would run (well finish!! ) a marathon together and here we are.

There was only one charity we were ever going to do it for as it was Ruth who gave us the idea many years ago after running the marathon herself. So we are really honoured to be running it for the Ruth Strauss foundation.

Family has and will always be so important to us both and the Ruth Strauss Foundation supports both parents and children when they are going through the toughest of times, providing support for families who are preparing for the death of a parent.

So despite dodgy knees, calves, and maybe a slightly hobbling but determined Alice we are ready to take on the challenge! ( At two very different paces 😆)

Any support for this wonderful charity will be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Cooky and Alice
