I am taking on the 2024 TCS London Marathon to raise money for Coram...

Coram is the UK's first children's charity and we have worked tirelessly to improve children's chances in life since we were founded 284 years ago. Today, we champion children's rights and wellbeing, making lives better through legal support, expert advocacy, adoption services and therapeutic, educational and cultural programmes.

By donating you'll be helping to support:

- Free legal services for children and young people who need support

- The annual childcare and holiday childcare surveys, the definitive reports on childcare costs and availability across the UK

- Adoption – matching children and families, and providing ongoing support

- Life skills, therapy, drama and volunteer reading programmes in schools nationwide

- Advocacy for children and young people in and leaving care, and England’s largest survey of the wellbeing of children in and leaving care

- Best practice support for children’s services professionals, teachers and families

- Research and policy insight to improve services for children and young people

- International research and consultancy on children’s rights, with areas covered including migration, youth justice, child protection and exploitation
