Mel & Karl Matthews fundraiser for Jennie's Children's Trust

melissa matthews is raising money for Jennie's Children's Trust

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025 · 6 April 2025 ·

This unique and exciting half marathon through the landmarks of London is a key fundraising initiative for JCT. We are aiming to raise vital funds to ensure we can continue to provide respite breaks for families who really need one.

Story

I’m raising money for Jennie’s Children’s Trust, a small but incredible charity in Marlow. They provide a much-needed retreat in Pembrokeshire for children and families affected by medical trauma or bereavement—offering them a chance to recover, recharge, and create happy memories together.

I was set to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025 to support them, but a torn calf (NOOO!) means my amazing husband Karlos is stepping in to run for me!

Our youngest Evie has also stepped in and once I’ve recovered we plan to run her first half marathon this summer for this charity and raise even more funds.

This charity is entirely volunteer-run, meaning every penny goes directly to the families who need it most. Any donation, big or small, makes a huge difference.

Thank you SO much for your support and please please please if you can spare any amount it would be greatly appreciated :)
