Event: London Marathon 2024, on 21 April 2024
In memory of Emily
The Brain Tumour Charity's London Marathon team are raring to go and ready to run towards a better future for everyone diagnosed with a brain tumour. We can't wait to take on the 26.2 mile course through the streets of London on Sunday 21 April 2024.

Story

Andy, Sarah and Harry are all taking part in marathon challenges this April, to raise money to help find a cure for Brain Tumours like Emily’s. Emily was only 8 years 10 months old when this devastating disease took her life. We are lost without her. We will do all we can in her name to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for paediatric brain tumours.

Andy and Sarah will run the London Marathon on 21st April 2024! Harry will swim the distance of a marathon throughout April, 1 mile at a time.

Thank you for supporting us as a family and helping us to reach our target. We hope to make Emily proud by each taking on these huge endurance challenges. ‘Endure for a cure.’
