Story

Hi there!

Gary Locke, Georgie Locke, Lizzie Hooper and Billy Coles are thrilled to be participating in the London Marathon 2025 to raise funds for WheelPower. This marathon is not just about running; it’s an event that brings people from all walks of life together to support amazing causes.

WheelPower is an incredible organization that empowers individuals with disabilities through sports and physical activities. They provide adaptive equipment, coaching, and support to help people overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.

But they can't do it alone. That's where you all come in! Your generous donation will directly contribute to WheelPower's mission and make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. Don't forget to say yes to Gift Aid which basically allows the charity to claim back the tax on your donation (this has no impact on you) In the meantime, we will be running on these dark, wet, windy and very cold nights to get set for the big day.

Our goal is to raise as much money possible but at least £2,000 each for this amazing cause. Every pound counts, and your contribution will go a long way in helping WheelPower continue their vital work.

So please, join us on this journey by donating today. Together, it’s possible to create a world where disability does not limit one's ability to participate in sports and enjoy an active lifestyle. Your generosity will not only transform lives but also inspire others to embrace inclusivity and celebrate diversity.

Note from Gary:

I finally get to run with my two daughter's Lizzie Hooper and Georgie Locke (and am beyond proud), together with Billy Coles a dear friend. As many of you know, this charity is close to our hearts and we do this for Gill Ives missed and very loved. If you get the chance, please come along on the day and support us too, it will most likely be my final one.

Thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts for your support!
