Alex breaking records

After over a decade of applying for the London Marathon ballot, Alex finally ran the London Marathon for Ella’s in April 2026, raising an incredible £6,770!

He learned about us from his fiancée, Rosie, and her colleagues at Caplor Horizons whom have supported us in various ways over the years.

Becca’s Marathon Madness

Becca completed two marathons over two weekends in support of survivors, overcoming tendonitis and more to smash the challenge and raise £1,300 for survivors.

‘This is about me doing something for other women,’ Becca told us just before the first run.

‘When you realise that you are not alone, you share the strength to make it through the day, to build yourself up and flourish.’
