Hi everyone!

My name is Dylan Bleach and myself and my partner Keeley Owen are going to be running the London Marthon 2025. We will be doing this in aid of a charity very close to us who are known as Wellchild. For those of you who don't know me, this is going a challenge for me due to my disability. I have cerebral palsy which can make it harder for me to do things other people may find easy but I've never let this get in the way of giving anything a go! When I was born the doctors told me I would never walk but my favorite thing to do is prove people wrong and I took my first steps at the age of 4! To being told I would never walk to walking the London marathon and a total of 26.2 miles is crazy so I would love for you to follow the journey.

During the marathon I will be running with a vacant wheelchair available for me at any moment if I start to struggle as well as the support of my girlfriend Keeley running with me as well.

I aim to complete as much of it on foot as possible and prove that people with disabilities can do anything they put their minds too. In 2024 I watched my dad run the marathon for wellchild and whilst watching him I saw many other inspiring people with disabilities and it made me want to have a go myself!

In 2015 I won a young hero's award with wellchild which is why my connection with them started. When winning my award I got to go on the gmb sofa, take a helicopter to the isle of Wight to dance on stage with pharell williams and also meet Prince Harry. Ever since this date it also opened up multiple opportunities for me that I will always be grateful for. I was invited to Prince Harry's wedding, I have been to many events meeting lots of amazing people and most recently I was the social media host for the 2024 Wellchild awards interviewing celebrities and keeping everyone up to date through the evening.

Due to this i think it is my turn to give back to the charity who has done so much for me. If you could donate anything to us we would appreciate it so much but even a share to spread the word would be amazing! Please get our story out there and help us raise as much money as possible!

Thank you- Dylan&Keeley💜
